Here is a fix to "CNeather::GetGoal" (from neather.cpp)
If I am correct, this should allow two things:

1: Playing level 25 as it is in a different hold.
2: Creating new levels based on level 25, as long as the 'Neather logic stays the same.

The changes I did are:
--- nY should get the room height (N-S), without the leval (nY of room1 will be 50 and not 2550)
--- the switch (nY) is changed as well.

Attached is my version of the function.

It's really nice of you to do this, but I'm fairly sure that the 'Neather is not meant to be playable in user holds. I think Erik mentioned something about discontinuing him in future releases. Besides, (Warning, story spoiler)

×the DROD story kills him.

Actually, read the story carefully,
Another option is that you could have with 'Leather, 'Meather, etc.

Doesn't that also prove his death?

This is definitely no proof:

4: We know 'N can be stabbed without getting killed, see other rooms...

Err... there's a bug with one of the tags in the post.

Anyway, the dialogue box asks.... Err... actually I can't say, even secretly because that would be one of the worst things I could possibly do. Well, you know what it asks - because you click a particular button that seals his fate, he should die.

My post got messed up somehow. Then I deleted it (I guess twice)
so I have more posts in this thread than total posts, whatever. I'll try again. I wonder what would happen if I tried that again, maybe I could have a negative number of posts...

Look at my post count... (now at -2)
Also - look at number of replies...

There may be a difference between the intent and outcome...

This discussion seems to have moved very quickly from a feature discussion to a DROD-metaphysical question which may belong on a different forum...

I hope this comes out the way it should...

I just noticed that yyw's number of posts are set to negative one, and there is (apparently) only one reply in this topic, because that's what it says under the posts menu. Is something wrong?

I've reposted the original post on the development forum.
I guess the discussion going on here, which has nothing to do with development can stay here...

Well, I think it's reminiscent of Final Fantasy encounters where you kill off the boss guy, but then after the fight he's really still there, lying on the floor, and talks to you for a while, and then comes back later to haunt you who knows how many times.
