This was the version of this idea in 40d: the World of Traps and Attractions

Toady said he fixed the bug that caused pressure plates to not work in 40d adventure mode, so pressure plate-triggered traps like timed floods or magma release will work for adventure forts in 31.0x hopefully.

Well, good to see there's some enthusiasm.

How does adventure mode deal with abandoned fortresses? I remember reading about both finding everything abandoned (as if the inhabitants disappeared), and also about going and tracking down the former inhabitants (I believe someone did this in order to hunt and kill all the inhabitants of Headshoots). So do you have to kill off all the inhabitants to make a fortress 'abandoned' so they don't carry off all the artifacts?

Also, how is the layout of an abandoned fortress stored in the savegame? I gather that the game does some random scattering of fortress contents along with repopulation by random monsters, but is this new layout stored in the savegame, or is it an expression of some algorithm that only exists when you physically travel there? I'm wondering if we can 'uncover' an old fort in adv. mode, and then basically hack it to put things where we want them, and insert things like forgotten beasts and other monsters to act as bosses and minibosses, in some logical order... AND then kill off the first adventurer, start a new one, and find the fort again still in its hacked state.

So no go? Reading the previous thread I am really hoping for this to go somewhere...
