marking bones files, ( base , rand ) is the number of lev-
els, and %age is its percentage chance of being generated
(if absent, 100% chance).
where name is the dungeon name, bonesmarker is a letter for marking
bones files, ( base , rand ) is the number of levels, and %age is its

ALIGNMENT | LEVALIGN: [ lawful | neutral | chaotic | unaligned ]
gives the alignment of the dungeon/level (default is
unaligned).

ENTRY: level
ENTRY: level
the dungeon entry point. The dungeon connection attaches at
this level of the given dungeon. If the value of level is
negative, the entry level is calculated from the bottom of
the dungeon, with -1 being the last level. If this line is
not present in a dungeon description, the entry level
defaults to 1.

example, the PROTOFILE name for the dungeon Vlad's Tower is tower.
LEVEL: name bonesmarker @ ( base , rand ) [ %age ]
where name is the level name, bonesmarker is a letter for marking bones
files, ( base , rand ) is the location and %age is the generation per-
centage, as above.

RNDLEVEL: name bonesmarker @ ( base , rand ) [ %age ] rndlevs
where name is the level name, bonesmarker is a letter for marking bones
files, ( base , rand ) is the location, %age is the generation percent-
age, as above, and rndlevs is the number of similar levels available to
choose from.
CHAINLEVEL: name bonesmarker prev_name + ( base , rand ) [ %age ]
where name is the level name, bonesmarker is a letter for marking bones
files, prev_name is the name of a level defined previously, ( base ,

LEVELDESC: type
where type is the level type, (see DESCRIPTION, above). The type is
used to override any pre-set value used to describe the entire dungeon,
for this level only.
BRANCH: name @ ( base , rand ) [ stair | no_up | no_down | portal ] [
up | down ]
LEVEL: name bonesmarker @ ( base , rand ) [ %age ]
where name is the name of the dungeon to branch to, and ( base , rand )
is the location of the branch. The last two optional arguments are the
branch type and branch direction. The type of a branch can be a two-
way stair connection, a one-way stair connection, or a magic portal. A
one-way stair is described by the types no_up and no_down which specify
which stair direction is missing. The default branch type is stair.
The direction for a stair can be either up or down; direction is not
applicable to portals. The default direction is down.
where name is the level name, bonesmarker is a letter for
marking bones files, ( base , rand ) is the location and
%age is the generation percentage, as above.

marking bones files, prev_name is the name of a level
defined previously, ( base , rand ) is the offset from the

tage.

GENERIC RULES
Each dungeon must have a unique bonesmarker , and each spe-
cial level must have a bonesmarker unique within its dungeon
(letters may be reused in different dungeons). If the
bonesmarker has the special value "none", no bones files
will be created for that level or dungeon.
Each dungeon must have a unique bonesmarker , and each special level
must have a bonesmarker unique within its dungeon (letters may be
reused in different dungeons). If the bonesmarker has the special
value "none", no bones files will be created for that level or dungeon.
The value base may be in the range of 1 to MAXLEVEL (as
defined in global.h ).
The value base may be in the range of 1 to MAXLEVEL (as defined in
global.h ).
The value rand may be in the range of -1 to MAXLEVEL.
The value rand may be in the range of -1 to MAXLEVEL.
If rand is -1 it will be replaced with the value
(num_dunlevs(dungeon) - base) during the load process (ie.
from here to the end of the dungeon).
If rand is -1 it will be replaced with the value (num_dunlevs(dungeon)
- base) during the load process (ie. from here to the end of the dun-
geon).
If rand is 0 the level is located absolutely at base.
If rand is 0 the level is located absolutely at base.
Branches don't have a probability. Dungeons do. If a
dungeon fails to be generated during load, all its levels
and branches are skipped.

No level or branch may be chained from a level with a per-
centage generation probability. This is to prevent non-
resolution during the load. In addition, no branch may be
made from a dungeon with a percentage generation probability
for the same reason.

As a general rule using the dungeon compiler:
If a dungeon has a protofile name associated with it (eg.
tower) that file will be used.
If a dungeon has a protofile name associated with it (eg. tower) that
file will be used.
If a special level is present, it will override the above
rule and the appropriate file will be loaded.
If neither of the above are present, the standard generator
will take over and make a "normal" level.
A level alignment, if present, will override the alignment
of the dungeon that it exists within.
