Details

Cavern levels have currently been disabled due to a bug that causes crashes and corrupt panic saves when such levels are being generated. The bug should be fixed so that this feature could be re-enabled.

Small fractal caves still occur, and the same crash bug would occasionally affect them too were it not a helpful bug that SOMEHOW stops the crashes.

The fortuitously buggy line in generate.c: 

#define EMPTY_FEAT 65536

The EMPTY_FEAT number can’t be anything nice like -1 or anything that would fit in the s16b datatype, the sort to which EMPTY_FEAT gets compared, otherwise the crashes come back.

This bug also stops the cavern levels from crashing, but it also stops them from ever being generated, so such levels are currently disabled for real.

This task depends upon
