Hi all.

This mod is a growing collection of "surprises" you can install in your castles. There are two now: A trap door & a false stone wall.

The trap door looks just like a normal floor, but a switch located 2 blocks away activates it and drops it out immediately. Anything standing on it will plummet to the depths below. Here's a little Twitter clip of it in action: https://twitter.com/STORI3D_PAST/status/781169146121846784

Right now this works best in a hallway. I hope to make a second version with a subtle switch close to the ground, good for use in open spaces. It won't be easy to use if you're running. But if you're just hanging out and someone walks in, you can give them a big surprise.

It comes in 4 directions, so you can match your floor pattern. (Because of how Keen does this mechanism, you can't see the floor part when you're setting it in place. Annoying, but the workaround is to set it up off to the side until you know you've got the right one.) The mechanics work really well. The hitbox is not great. It's oversized so it's "hittable" but can still be tricky to find. Spend some time practicing your run-by routine so you can know just where you need to point to be able to throw the switch. I'll keep working on it on my end.

The second mod is a false stone wall. It looks & feels just like a regular stone wall block. But it rotates on its center to open up secret passages/rooms behind it. I have hidden the hitbox in the floor so it won't be such a giveaway. Here's a video of how the wall looks and works: https://twitter.com/STORI3D_PAST/status/782284386746105856

I also added a regular stone wall you can use to either side of the false stone wall, that -won't- automatically generate those vertical stone pillars. Otherwise your false wall would be completely given away by the pillars being there.

I hope to add spiked booby-traps, two-way mirrors, and other cool effects to give your castles an extra layer of mystery and danger.

Hope you enjoy!
