Beta version of PWMAngband 1.2.0 released

[tangar]

/rfe

add a note in item description if it's a true artirfact (to understand - is it possible to put it to the storage). Currently the only way to distinguish true arts from randards - to try to put them to house.. would be fun to understand it while in the dungeon

[tangar]

/rfe add shop price to item descriptions, so when you examine 'I' an item - add to it for how much you could buy or sell it to the NPC shop.

As we are birth_no_selling server, it's hard to understand prices when players trading items between each other and this option would be helpful to understand ~ prices

Also I've noticed that this feature scared several newbie players cause they think that they died after client closed itself.

Players should have control over their character all the time.. That feature take this control out from players hands (and also gives exploit mechanics), so it should be optional.

/rfe add an .cfg option to turn off this mechanics.

Angband got awesome feature: when you first time run client - it rearrange all windows for user's resolution and _then_ creates .ini file.

PWMA also got this feature for classic 'mangclient.exe' client, but currently PWMA distributed with pre-defined config files (and they got only one window by default). Also when I've deteled config file (to use 'auto-creation' feature in .exe setup) - client glitches and gives an error ('Can't find graphics!') about tileset and run with ascii (but still open all windows).

Suggestion:
1) assign Gervais tileset to default mangclient.exe settings
2) assign Shockbolt tileset to sdl client
3) reassign all windows in other positions (move message window on top, near monster list and chat; move inventory to the right; map to the bottom). I suggest using this layeouts (predefined for 1920x1080):
mangclient.ini: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mc...LDkqo7HM0OV-ju
sdlinit.txt: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nV...jp5ZmYfbpePcX6
4) start sdl client by default in fullscreen
5) add possibility to assign other fonts and show-hide windows in mangclient_gcu client - then I'll use there my 21x31 blind-friendly setup with which I stream. It would give really great possbility to have 3 client options available from 'out-of-box'!

Next version will also have chance of item being good and chance of item being great as parameters in constant.txt, so fine tuning object generation will be complete.

/bug
when I put 'Pick' at '1' as 'normal' - it generates there loads of Picks of Earthquakes and other valuable pickaxes for very cheap prices
please note that it seems V-devs are going to add more customization of shops flags: http://trac.rephial.org/ticket/2093 ; so maybe this bug would be fixed in 'core' soon
