SRB2 Dungeon Crawler

Intro
Fight through randomly generated levels with increasing difficulty (Max: 5). Most Levels will have randomly generated enemies, and (basic) hazards. If you think this is crazy, or if you think I'm crazy for creating this, you're probably right. Don't believe me? Open up your favorite .pk3 editor and see the level for yourself!

Encounter randomly generated enemies

Experience randomly generated nonsense!

Get to to the goal!

It's also netplay compatible*! Assemble a team together!

Gameplay
You spawn in a random area of the map. Your goal is to reach the spring which will bring you to the next Dungeon Level. At the time of writing, all players must be present on a spring to move on. At the last level, you fight a basic Eggman boss, however he may be accompanied by other enemies to spice up the challenge.

As an added bonus, rings, score and present shield powers are preserved between level transitions.

Helpful Console commands

Code:

dng_printlevel <num> - Prints the desired level. Up to the maximum generated levels.
dng_levels <1-999> - Server only. Defaults to 5. Generates this many levels for a given dungeon. (Requires map switch+reload. Will not generate if in a current Dungeon Run)
dng_clear - Server only. Clears the current dungeon, and starts a new dungeon run from Level 1. (Requires map reload)
dng_skiplevel - Server only. Skips the current Dungeon Level. (Does not work for the last floor)
dng_gotolevel <num> - Server Only. Allows you to skip to a specified floor of a dungeon, if one exists.

dng_printlevel legend

Below is a list for what is visible to the player in a 48x48 grid (matrix).

Code:

Tile.WALL = 0 -- Impassible
Tile.WALK = 1 -- Walkable
Tile.CORR = 2 -- Corridor passageway
Tile.SPAWN = 3 -- Player Int Spawn
Tile.SPRING = 4 -- Spring (Ascending)
Tile.RING = 5 -- Ring collection
Tile.ITEM = 6 -- Item
Tile.KEY = 7 -- Key space
Tile.ENEMY = 8 -- Enemy
Tile.BOSS = 9 -- Boss
Tile.PIT = 10 -- Death Pit

Problems, bugs?

MT_DRAGONBOMBER has been disabled for this release. It has a tendancy to cause an unknown sigsegv with the Eggman boss found on the last dungeon floor.
Outside of the MT_DRAGONBOMBER behavior, I have not seen any erratic behavior from any other enemy that would cause an error to happen.
Some enemies will be looking away from you when they are spawned. This is expected and I'm actively looking into changing this for the better in a future release.
If there are any enemies that DO happen to give an error, or worse, a sigsegv, please report it! I understand the mixing of enemy types can have unexpected results. Please report anything you may be doing at the time of error, if one were to occur. Screenshots and providing your srb2win.RPT file also helps too! Let's work through this together.

Speical Notes
Level generation is random. So don't be surprised if you find a level with a spring next to your player spawn, or a level that has multiple of the same enemy. I've tried to mitigate this as much as I can.
