      It works correctly in most cases, but still has some glitches (like door

      The issue i'm running into is to correctly see if something is a wall, a

      So here's what i plan on doing, for maps, or more precisely squares, you

  for floors, the FLAG_IS_FLOOR should already be set for all floor objects, so 
it shouldn't be necessary to change the type to floor.  But if you want to, not 
a big deal I suppose.

  Please don't do that.  While subtype may not be used right now, that doesn't 
mean it might not have a more useful purpose in the future.  If you want to use 
it as a flag, add a new flag field.

  If that's what you want, add that field to the archs.
