Great idea, especially in the Mines![Quote]

Awesome. This makes the game really, really more fun to play.
Did you notice that the walls in Mine's End where the secret doors are randomly placed aren't colored?[Quote]

This patch adds a lot of atmosphere to the game; the gnomish mines and gehennom seem much less monotonous, and converting an altar is more satisfying.

I use it with the heck^2 patch, which it conflicts with unfortunately. This could be remedied with a bit of code, but simply commenting out the red walls in gehennom and keeping the orange floors will work, while keeping the feeling of the original.[Quote]
