these functions are not missing. they are just not changed 
to contain the new variables.
also i have no idea if i was missing any other spot that 
needs beeing changed. but my maps are already playable when 
stone was added by hand.

it is not yet in. generated maps still need to be modified 
so glob2 does not rely on the reproducability. but i think 
it is no good idea to not actually save the map but only the 
way it was created as changes will occure maybe frequently 
destroying older maps.

yes. that's why i posted here. it is now possible to quickly 
generate all sizes of maps.

the widgets for resources are not yetused so they have no 
effect yet. also stone is missing completely so far. but for 
an editor opposed to a generator for direct play it serves a 
lot now.
i can not promis to have time to get it to work today. but 
maybe if you put it in, someone has a look for these 
data/checksum/rand issues and people come up with 
improvement ideas.
i will have things working during debuging this week but i 
am afraid map-gen will be left behind if you don't merge it 
today.
