FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I was looking for the code for the dungeon spawning so I could make a chest with random stuff spawn in it? Can someone help me?

The mapgen code, including dungeons, is in C / C++ and hard to change

EDIT:
The code that generates dungeons is in C++ / C, but you could make a mod that added a different type of dungeon

celeron55 made a dungeon mod. This is the link to the most recent version (11 months old)

This is the original release (in one of his blogs):

So if I want to add Chests, I would make another lua and place it in that folder?

Seems that's an extract of mobf, with more place for the dungeon masters. The relevant code for the vaults the DMs love to live in can be found in mobf.

My random_buildings mod also has a routine for filling a chest with random items. There's also a tresture chest in either gloopores or glooptest that adds random treasure chests to the map.

Having something inside those dungeons created by mapgen might be nice. Looking for cobble and mossy cobble at mapgen time and placing a chest would not be very difficult to do - but what else could be found inside those dungeons?

So are you saying that this is possible?

There are already several mods that do something similar. It's certainly possible.

How about if you think about what else might fit into a dungeon to make them more intresting? Perhaps you might build a few sample ones. Just chests sounds boring.

The "hungry games" game has what you are looking for. https://github.com/Splizard/hungry_games/blob/master/mods/random_chests/init.lua

I think wooden chests in dungeons would be unrealistic.
Why should anyone had given items stored in a chest to the people jailed there?

they could have suplies for the guards

I could use that for a minez like game. Nice. But I'm still looking to make chests spawn in dungeons.

Can I take this and place a special type of chest that will refill periodically and won't refill other chests that people might have placed? And is there a way I can prevent chests from spawning randomly?
