	Hmm.  Well, did you really go into player mode? If you are still
	dm, then you will have the "super X-ray" vision still. As for the
	map darkness flag, I opted to use the "map object" to store the
	information about darkness. No object has a "darkness" field, so 
	I stored the information in mapobj->invisible. This practice is 
	used to store other map information such as preset map difficulty.


	Did you try to use the premade maps I sent with the code? Did 
	you find a similar problem? Anyone else have this problem?
