[CF-Devel] Empty random maps, was: [CF-maps] smuggler quest broken

[Rick Tanner]

Could this have anything to do with the Monsters sleeping post over on
CF-Devel?

"What I see, is that areas that used to be packed end-to-end with
monsters, are now containing one or two, and a generator at the back of
the room. Someone on IRC mentioned that this is due to the monsters
sleeping, and blocking the generators."

"The bigger problem it solved is that monsters now sit still, so when you
get to the far side of a level (that isn't just a big chamber), the
monsters  are  still there, instead of all of them coming towards you at
the start of the  level."

"If an area is supposed to be packed full of monsters, then the map
maker should put those monsters in."

Just a thought...

      It does work now, but the random levels are all essentially empty.  It used
