      the maps in /esben have no background graphics. In the GTK-client

      I fixed the maps using crossedit, and they can be played fine now (you

      The changes alter the map files a bit, and a patch would be quite large.

      Is there a way to submit those changes other than posting a patch?
     
     
Sending large map patches to cf-devel is indeed not a good thing
to do. Just come to the IRC channel #crossfire on irc.openprojects.net.
There you can show the maps to some developer, and if they're good,
the maps can get checked in to cvs.

I want to note that these esben maps (like most others with missing
floors) suck *real* hard. Of course adding floor is better than
leaving them in their current state. However - if you feel creative -
best would be to replace them with something completely new.
