// This file demonstrates a very simple dungeon generation system written entirely
// in Torquescript. By fiddling with the setting variables below you can use this
// script to create dungeons and automatically insert them into your world. 
// For the time being this script is very simple, and only loads geometry. Over time
// I plan to add details features to it.
