Summary

0006485: New Dis layout generator

Description

I wrote a new layout generator for Dis, mainly because layout_city is boring. https://gitorious.org/~rwbarton/crawl/rwbartons-crawl/commit/1bec97e30377ca4879acd77dfae72c74eb508be4 [^]

It doesn't work with non-encompass Dis:7 end vaults yet because it expects to fill the whole level; currently the level generator seems to fall back to layout_city for some reason. I'm sure it would be fairly simple to adjust it to work there too.

The extra monster generation in the layout generator might be overkill, but the levels look so empty without it. I haven't playtested it at all.

Notes
(0020696) KiloByte (manager) 2013-01-01 02:49	Interesting. I'm not sure it should be the only layout, though, as maps that form a tree tend to be effectively larger than others.

(0020933) reid (reporter) 2013-01-31 02:28	It's true that the tree-like structure would necessitate more back-tracking while searching for stairs, which combined with hell effects probably means the extra monsters are overkill.

(0020967) sgrunt (administrator) 2013-02-05 21:32	This is interesting enough to warrant more play-testing, so I have landed it with two important changes: it's not the only layout for the branch (currently it has a 50% chance, alternating with city layouts), and the extra monsters have been removed. If there are further changes to be made after this sees more widespread attention, do poke this issue again...
