Suggestion: Implement some code in crossfire, that allows only (one)
specific player to move around and handle things. No monsters should move/do
something. All
other things can be activated. So you need not to play, only to move around
and see if buttons, generators (in some sense) and other things are active/
in place. The monsters would'nt be agressive. That would allow testing
of all things but the monsters.

in process_players[12]
That should be easy.

Bis dann
Klaus
