Legwork for an Object Creation Spoiler

This treats only those cases that aren't restricted to monster inventory items or certain useless items. It's mostly interesting for pacifists, as they don't get any death drops. Specifically, I wanted to know how likely a 12-conduct character is to find holy water, a scroll of scare monster, a magic whistle and so on.

A preliminary results table is available at [1]. Numerical instabilities mean you should trust at most the three leading digits.

Containers

Contents of containers are complicated, not just rn2(..) things: Mkobj.c#mkbox_cnts

Unless stated otherwise, all items can be containers, which hold more items.

In a normal rooms-and-corridor level at level creation time.

Mklev.c#makelevel

You need the distribution of rooms per level, and room sizes. Rooms per level, from counting 10 games: 5(7/222), 6(28/222), 7(68/222), 8(83/222), 9(30/222), 10(4/222), 11(2/222).

Random objects on the floor in each ordinary room.

• ... chance of non-special room ...
• 1/3 chance of a monsters, which might be a snake/spider.
• (1/10 chance fountain, independently 1/60 sink for a ring, 1/60 altar ..)
• 1/(80-2*depth) chance of one grave, which will hold rn2(5) cursed items
• 1/20 chance of a statue, which has (1-10/(10 + depth/2)) chance of one spellbook, provided the statue isn't very small.
• 1/(nroom * 5 / 2) chance of: 1/3 chest 2/3 large box
• 1/3 chance of objects at all, 4/5*(1/5)^n prob for n+1 objects, n>=0. Containers are eligible.

make_niches()

• 1d(rooms/2 +1) proto-niches.
• dlev 1-5: all, dlev 6-15: 5/6, dlev 16-24 25/36, dlev 25-end 5/6 are a non-trap niche.
• 8 retries to find a room with !=1 door (20% chance anyway), non-special, and hitting a place to put the niche (unlikely to fail).
• 3/4*6/7*1/3 of those get another random object, but they never have a secret door.

shops

• 1<dlev<medusalevel && 45.3%chance && rn2(u_depth) < 3)
• mkroom(SHOPBASE)
• Each square has (dlevel)% chance of a mimic, else make a fitting object. Shknam.c#mkshobj_at

(45.3% due to http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/msg/9071578a7d8cddaf)

1 chest

• 4<dlev<castle && no shop && 1/6 chance

graveyard boxes

• 11<dlev<castle && noshop && 5/6*7/8*6/7*4/5*4/5*1/6

barracks containers

• 14<dlev<castle && noshop && 5/6*7/8*6/7*4/5*4/5*5/6*7/8*1/4
• each square has 1/20 chance of 2/3 large box, 1/3 chest

cockatrice nest statues

• 16<dlev<castle && noshop && 5/6*7/8*6/7*4/5*4/5*5/6*7/8*3/4*5/6*1/8
• each square has 1/3 chance of statue with rn2(5) items

ant hole

• 1/3 chance of a food item per square
