Nethack 3.1 : where are the MULTI dungeons?

[Andre van Dalen]

Hi fellow (net)hackers,

From what I read in the documentation nethack 3.1 should have multi
dungeons in it. I thought every type of character should start at
an own start level where he would get a quest and could choose from
different dungeon entries.

But my game just starts like 3.0 at level 1 and I have not yet (level 8)
encountered the special level layout as can be seen in the dat directory
of the sources. I made sure the MULDGN option in config.h is set
and checked a few objects to see if they included functions that
are only there when MULDGN is set.

Did I miss something or is this normal behaviour? Could you shed some
light on this for me? Where DOES the start level begin?

Please reply here or via mail. we do not reveive the rec.games
newsgroups. (I do think that there are more people that can
learn from the reply though)

Thanks, Andre van Dalen.

It's no bug. On at least one level (usually level 3?) there
are two downward staircases. One goes to the mines, one to
the regular level 4.

Mike.

ps: 3.1 is a great job - thanks, guys.
