In Response To: Re: PiD "Do-not-disturb sectors" (laz)

: Hopper might be able to give a better answer to this, but for my
: reimplementation of Pathways I assumed they were sectors that monsters
: were NOT allowed to randomly spawn into.
: My assumption is based on the fact that sector type only appears in areas
: with a high monster density (and therefore would be easily unbalanced if
: monsters were to spawn in there)

This question made me curious, so I checked the original implementation. The internal constants have different names than Hopper chose, but it looks like the do-not-disturb sectors have the effect of preventing monsters from activating if the player rests nearby. Normally resting will trigger any monster within 8 sectors so it can run over and give you a rude awakening, but monsters placed on a sector of that type will be skipped. The intent on Ascension is probably to keep the monsters from bunching up around the door if you rest in the room just before the pipes.

(Disclaimer: I haven't actually loaded up Ascension in-game to double-check this.)
