;{{moddef|desc|safe_empty_coord|dot}}
:Gives a coordinate that satisfies all [[Modding:Constants#Empty Flags|empty flags]]. If one cannot be found, another attempt is made that excludes EF_NOSAFE; if one still cannot be found, another attempt is made that additionally excludes EF_NOSTAIRS and EF_NOHARM.
----
;{{moddef|desc|standard_empty_coord|dot}}
:Gives a coordinate that satisfies all empty flags other than EF_NOSAFE.
----
;{{moddef|desc|set_permanence|dot||Area|ar|boolean|val|Cell|tile}}
:Adds the "frozen" level event to the map and records it in the mortem history. Levels with the frozen event change all walls into ice walls and all fluids into water.
----
;{{moddef|desc|setup_ice_event|dot}}
:Adds the "frozen" level event to the map and records it in the mortem history. Levels with the frozen event change all walls into ice walls and all fluids into water.
----
;{{moddef|desc|setup_perma_event|dot}}
:Adds the "sturdy" level event to the map and records it in the mortem history. Levels with the sturdy event set all wall tiles to be permanent.
----
;{{moddef|desc|setup_alarm_event|dot}}
:Adds the "alarm" level event to the map and records it in the mortem history. Levels with the alarm event set all non-player beings' [[Modding:Constants#Being Flags|BF_HUNTING]] flag to true.
----
;{{moddef|desc|setup_deadly_air_event|dot||integer|step}}
:Adds the "deadly air" event to the map and records it in the mortem history. Levels with the deadly air event cause all beings to lose hit points every '''step''' turns.
----
;{{moddef|desc|setup_nuke_event|dot||integer|minutes}}
:Adds the "armed nuke" event to the map and records it in the mortem history. Levels with the armed nuke event begin with a [[thermonuclear bomb]] set at the player's starting position, which will explode in ''minutes'' game minutes.
----
;{{moddef|desc|setup_flood_event|dot||integer|direction|integer|step|Cell|cell|boolean|pure}}
:Adds the "flood" event to the map and records it in the mortem history. Levels with the flood event are slowly filled with a fluid: ''direction'' determines whether the floor travels from the right (-1) or from the left (+1); every ''step'' turns, ''cell'' will replace all tiles in a next column to be flooded. Setting ''pure'' to false will move the player and stairs to opposite sides of the map, with the player nearest the flood.
----
;{{moddef|desc|being_weight|dot|integer}}
:Gives a value equal to the difficulty-adjusted weight of beings for a given danger level. These are the results used for the base game's monster generation parameters.
----
;{{moddef|desc|item_amount|dot|integer}}
:Gives a value equal to the number of items spawned for a given danger level. On level types where the this amount isn't preset, this is the result used for the base game's item generation parameters.
----
;{{moddef|desc|restore_walls|dot||Cell|wall_cell|boolean|keep_fluids}}
:Sets all cells on the edge of the map to ''wall_cell''. If ''keep_fluids'' is set to true, fluid tiles will be maintained but set as permanent.
----
;{{moddef|desc|cell_set|dot|Cellset list|list|list}}
:Creates a cellset for all cells in ''list''. The returned list functions just like any [[Modding:Constants#Cellsets|CELLSET constant]].
----
;{{moddef|desc|horiz_river|dot||Cell|cell|integer|width|boolean|bridge}}
:Adds a horizontal river to the map, created using ''cell'' tiles. ''width'' sets the tile-width of the river. If ''bridge'' is set to true, a non-fluid floor bridge will be created on the river.
----
;{{moddef|desc|vert_river|dot||Cell|cell|integer|width|boolean|bridge|Coord|pos}}
;{{moddef|desc|vert_river|dot||Cell|cell|integer|width|boolean|bridge|integer|pos}}
:Adds a vertical river to the map, created using ''cell'' tiles. ''width'' sets the tile-width of the river, and ''pos'' sets the starting position of the river. If ''pos'' is given as an integer, then the starting y-coordinate of the river is at the top of the map. If ''bridge'' is set to true, a non-fluid floor bridge will be created on the river.
----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_rivers|dot||boolean|allow_horiz|boolean|allow_more}}
:Generates a random number of horizontal and vertical rivers on the map. See [[Fluids#Rivers|Rivers]] for more information. The fluid type varies with map depth.
----
;{{moddef|desc|drunkard_walk|dot||Coord|start|integer|steps|Cell|cell|Cell list|ignore|boolean|break_on_edge}}
:Generates ''cell'' tiles according to a drunken walk algorithm. It travels ''steps'' times, starting at the coordinate ''start''. Any cells in ''ignore'' will not be set over but the algorithm will still continue. If ''break_on_edge'' is set to true, the drunken walk will stop if it hits a map border: otherwise it will continue, clamping cells within the map as necessary.
----
;{{moddef|desc|drunkard_walks|dot||integer|amount|integer|steps|Cell|cell|Cell list|ignore|boolean|break_on_edge|Area|drunk_area}}
:As Generator.drunkard_walk, but repeated ''amount'' times. Additionally, rather than specifically a starting position, all walks are chosen from a random coordinate within ''drunk_area''.
----
;{{moddef|desc|contd_drunkard_walks|dot||integer|amount|integer|steps|Cell|cell|Coord|edges1|Coord|edges2|Cell list|ignore|boolean|break_on_edge}}
:As Generator.drunkard_walks, but rather than limiting the walk's starting position, the walk will stop prematurely if it has reached the x- or y-coordinates of both ''edges1'' and ''edges2''.
----
;{{moddef|desc|plot_lines|dot||Coord|where|Area|larea|boolean|horiz|Cell|cell|Cell list|block}}
:Generates a line of ''cell'' tiles on the map, starting at ''where'' and extending to the boundaries of ''larea''. ''horiz'' set to true will produce horizontal lines: otherwise it will produce vertical lines. If a cell from ''block'' is found, the line will end prematurely at the end on which it was blocked.
----
;{{moddef|desc|maze_dungeon|dot||Cell|floor_cell|Cell|wall_cell|integer|granularity|integer|tries|integer|minl|integer|maxl}}
:Generates a map-wide maze, using ''wall_cell'' as the wall tiles and ''floor_cell'' as the floor tiles. Wall corridors are at least ''minl'' tiles apart and at most ''maxl'' tiles apart: ''granularity'' sets a rough complexity of the map. The number of walls attempted to be made is equal to ''tries''.
----
;{{moddef|desc|warehouse_fill|dot||Cell|wall_cell|Area|fill_area|integer|box_size|integer|amount}}
:Generates ''wall_cell'' tiles in the shape of a square within ''fill_area''. ''boxsize'' sets the size of the side of a box, and ''amount'' sets the number of tries for boxes to be added.
----
;{{moddef|desc|warehouse_dungeon|dot}}
:Generates a map-wide warehouse setting. Warehouse dungeons are divided into three large rooms, each attempting 50 tries with boxes of side length 3.
----
;{{moddef|desc|add_room|dot||Area|room}}
:Adds ''room'' to the Generator.room_list and Generator.room_meta lists. This is used in conjunction with room generation functions.
----
;{{moddef|desc|add_rooms|dot|boolean}}
:As Generator.add_room, but locates all rooms on the map and adds them to Generator.room_list and Generator.room_meta instead.
----
;{{moddef|desc|get_room|dot|Room|integer|min_size|integer|max_x|integer|max_y}}
:Finds a room that contains at least ''min_size'' in both height and width, and has a width and height no bigger than ''max_x'' and ''max_y'', respectively.
----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_tiled|dot}}
:Generates a "normal" map. Normal levels are divided randomly into rectangular rooms.
----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_warehouse_dungeon|dot}}
:Builds a "warehouse" level. This includes everything necessary to be played as a typical random level.

----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_arena_dungeon|dot}}
:Builds an "arena" level. This includes everything necessary to be played as a typical random level.
----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_fluids|dot||Area|drunk_area}}
:Generates all non-river fluids on the map using drunken walks, within ''drunk_area''. The fluid type varies with danger level.
----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_barrels|dot}}
:Generates all barrels on the map, The barrel type varies with danger level.
----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_stairs|dot}}
:Generates stairs on the map.
----
;{{moddef|desc|generate_special_stairs|dot}}
:Generates special stairs on the map, if a special level exists at the current map depth.

----
;{{moddef|desc|add_room_feature|dot||boolean|no_monsters}}
