[If you don't have access to the source, and don't want to
spoil your fun, do not read on. Otherwise here are a couple
of problems/questions for all you hack administrators out there]
Problems with hack 1.0.3 (straight source, no mods)
1) how can one dig a downward staircase while on a maze level ?
First thing I did after entering maze was read scroll of magic mapping
everything came up but no '>'. Walked all over the place to no avail.
Looked in code in mkmaze(), see xdnstairs = ydnstairs = 0 ; so took
pickaxe and made way to the 4 corners of screen, but floor is too hard.
Even tried ^T after quaffing potion of confusion, remained on same level.
any suggestions ?
2) related problem: if no way down past maze, how can one find amulet
if your first maze is on level 29 or less, 'coz quote
makemaz() : al = (dlevel >= 30 && !flags.made_amulet) ;
if (al) {... mkobj (amulet) } else {...}
Much obliged for any suggestions, fixes,etc....
