a map system similar to the Diablo game?

[Randall]

Greetings!

It's still not copy&paste&run solution, but I would definitely start there (unless you want to have them pseudo random, then take a look here):

Generating maps?

What do you think about generating areas such as surfaces or dungeons as other games did before? Imagine spawning different structures on certain places and changing it without restarting the server. All we need are good structure spawners and even greater auto-border. However, I wanted to go...
