Sereg: Included additional stair vision message for maze levels

__NOTOC__
Level feelings are determined at random throughout the game and add features to a particular map. Depending on the level feeling, multiple feelings can exist on the same level.

If you can't find a displayed message here, check the [[level event]] page for other possibilities.

=== [[Room Generation#Lever Rooms|Levers]] ===

* '''You feel that smell? That gasoline smell? Oh hell...'''
** There is a lever that floods every tile with [[Fluids|lava]]. If you see this message then don't pull any of the levers in the level; it will not be worth the risk, even if you have an [[envirosuit pack]].
* '''In the State of Denmark there was the odor of decay...'''
** There is a lever that floods every tile with [[Fluids|acid]]. Just as with the level feeling above, don't pull levers if this shows up. Enough points invested into [[Traits#Intuition|Intuition]] will make this manageable, however.
* '''The air is really humid here...'''
** There is a lever that floods every tile with [[Fluids|water]]. Same as the last two, except not deadly at all and can actually be useful in preventing corpses.
* '''The smell of a massacre... '''
** This indicates the presence of a 'kills creatures' lever that affects all creatures on the map. This is particularly useful early on, as it is capable of destroying most early-game enemies completely.
* '''You hear the trumpets of Jericho echoing in the distance...'''
** There is a lever that will destroy all walls on the map when pulled. Does not include border walls. Generally a big problem for the player, considering that they make use of the cover more than enemies do.

=== [[Room Generation#Vaults|Vaults]] ===

Each of these feelings indicate that there is a [[Room Generation#Vault room|vault]] somewhere on the level. Multiple instances of these feelings indicate multiple vaults, as well.

* '''There's something special here...'''
* '''There's the smell of blood in the air!'''
* '''You feel excited!'''

===[[Level type|Level Type]]===

If this level feeling occurs, it means you get a level type very different in style. In addition, Levers and Vaults feelings cannot occur.

* '''Suddenly monsters come from everywhere!'''
** Indicates that you have spawned in an [[Level type#Arena|Arena]].
* '''Twisted passages carry the smell of death...'''
** Indicates that you have spawned in a [[Level type#Cave|Cave]].
* '''Where the hell is the way out of here!?!''' (followed by '''...Oh, there it is. D'oh.''' if you enter the level with vision of the stairs)
** Indicates that you have spawned in a [[Level type#Maze|Maze]].
* The following messages indicate a [[Level type#Single Monster|single monster]] level type:
**'''You hear many marching feet.''' (equal distribution of all former-type enemies)
**'''The walls are scratched and flame-scorched!''' (all [[imp|imps]])
**'''A battle cry chants in the distance!''' (equal distribution of [[hell knight|hell knights]] and [[baron of hell|barons of hell]])
**'''You hear deep, guttural noises!''' (all [[mancubus|mancubi]])
**'''Bones clatter all around you!''' (all [[revenant|revenants]])
**'''You hear crackling flames!''' (all [[arch-vile|arch-viles]])
**'''Hellish magic haunts air!''' (half archviles, half formers)
**'''You hear loud wails that cannot mean anything good!''' (all [[bruiser brother|bruiser brothers]])
**'''The air is crackling with electricity!''' (all [[shambler|shamblers]])
**'''Suddenly you have a great urge to turn back! You scream in TERROR!''' (all [[Cyberdemon|Cyberdemons]])

===[[Levels#Special Levels|Special Levels]]===

If this level feeling occurs, it means there will be a separate set of stairs (colored red) that allows access to one of the special levels.

* '''You feel a breeze of morbid air...'''
* '''You sense a passage to a place beyond...'''
* '''You shiver from cold...'''

=== Other ===

* '''You feel there is something really valuable here!'''
** Somewhere on the level one of the [[specials|uniques]] was generated.
* '''Khe, he, he. This will be a mess...'''
** The level is generated chock-full of [[Barrel|barrels]]. Barrel type depends on depth rather than being random.
* '''As you enter, some weird alarm starts howling!'''
** All monsters are set to actively hunt the player.
* '''The air seems deadly here, you better leave quick!'''
** Every X seconds ((0.1s × (100 - 5 × difficulty)), the player and enemies will lose a few HP. Envirosuit prevents those damages.
* '''You hear sounds of hellish mortars!'''
** Every few seconds of game time, an explosion occurs somewhere on the level. This explosion can damage you or enemies and destroy items or barrels.
* '''They rolled out BIG guns!'''
** Always paired with You hear the sounds of hellish mortars!. Same as above, but napalm explosions occur, covering the area with lava.
