Grudge patch

NetHack PatchDB 62

The Grudge Patch is a patch by Nephi that introduces new pre-programmed hostilities between certain monsters.

The Grudge Patch is written as a patch against vanilla NetHack, and modified versions of the Grudge Patch have been incorporated into certain variants.

UnNetHack

UnNetHack includes a modified version of the Grudge patch.

The added hostilities in UnNetHack are as follows:

  • Quest Leaders fight all monsters currently hostile to the player. Any monster currently hostile to the player will also be hostile to the Quest Leader.
  • All elves attack all orcs and kobolds on sight. All orcs and kobolds attack all elves on sight.
  • All angels attack all major demons on sight. All demons attack all angels on sight.
  • All Nazgul attack all hobbits on sight. All hobbits attack all Nazgul on sight.
  • All deep orcs attack all dwarves on sight. All dwarves attack all deep orcs on sight.
  • Woodchucks will attack the Oracle on sight. The reverse is not true, but the Oracle does have both a passive defense and special behavior regarding Woodchucks, both predating this patch.
  • All ravens will attack all eye-shaped monsters (Floating eyes, evil eyes, beholders (beholders are currently deferred))
  • Dungeon ferns are hostile to everything, and everything is hostile to dungeon ferns.

FIQHack

FIQHack includes the following grudges:

  • Quest leaders fight all monsters hostile to the player and on adjacent tiles. The reverse is also true.[1]
  • All elves attack all orcs on sight, and vice versa.[2]
  • All angels attack all major demons on sight, and vice versa.[3]
  • Woodchucks will attack the Oracle on sight.[4] The reverse is not true, but the Oracle does have both a passive defense and special behavior regarding Woodchucks, both predating this.
  • Purple worms attack shriekers on sight. The reverse is not true.[5]
  • Ravens attack floating eyes on sight. The reverse is not true.[6]
  • Zombies attack the living when on adjacent tiles, and vice versa.[7]
  • Dogs attack cats when on adjacent tiles (unless they are tame), and vice versa.[8]

Note that there is a distinction in the FIQHack code between 'grudges' (entities attack each other on sight) and 'adjacent grudges' (entities only attack each other if they are next to each other).

EvilHack

In the following cases, grudges don't apply, even if racial characteristics would suggest a grudge:

With that in mind:
