to fix some map bugs that have been discovered by players over the
years.
These fixes include fixes for bad monster counts in some
maps/difficulty settings, fixing broken spawn chains that made it
impossible to spawn some monsters, removing DM-only items that spawn
in unreachable areas in SP/co-op, and so on. You can find detailed
changelogs for each map by opening the .ent files with a text editor
and reading the comment section at the top (lines starting with "//").
