• Wiki Suggestions
• Developers wiki section

Well, this would be a section useful for module developers.

I was just going through v_info.txt, and realised that it would be nice if there could be somewhere (the wiki is an appropriate place) to find what all of the chars represent in the v_info.txt files.

In ToME 2.x, the function build_vault() in generate.c builds a vault. The first pass builds the features of the vault:

• 	do nothing
  %	granite wall (outer)
  #	granite wall (inner) (diggable)
  X	permanent wall (inner)
  G	glass wall
  I	illusion wall
  +	secret door
  *	treasure (75%) or trap (25%)
  ^	trap
  other	a typical floor tile is used

The second pass put monsters and objects in the vault:

• 	do nothing
  &	monster ( 5 levels OOD)
  @	monster (11 levels OOD)
  9	monster ( 9 levels OOD) and treasure ( 7 levels OOD)
  8	monster (40 levels OOD) and treasure (20 levels OOD)
  ,	monster ( 3 levels OOD) with a 50% chance and/or treasure (7 levels OOD) with a 50% chance
  A	treasure (12 levels OOD)
  0 - 7	void jumpgates (in pairs)

Old ZAngband characters (should not be used):

• p	start of the pattern
  a	pattern 1
  b	pattern 2
  c	pattern 3
  d	pattern 4
  P	end of the pattern
  B	pattern xtra 1

Also things in the p_info files. What does each of the sections mean etc. I had a look at unangband's files to know what each of those numbers represent.

I thought about spoilers... but it's not really spoilers. It's like technical support / information.
