	Some entities like '''atdm:random_grass_dense''' set "max_entities" "600" in the editor entity inspector when you create them. The code, however, does not take this as hint (e.g. "generate how much you want, but at most 600"), instead it uses it as "generate always 600 models". This means that the amount of objects does not scale with the menu setting "Object Details". This bug will be fixed in TDM v1.05.

 For now you must manually lower the density when you change the distribution. This will likely get fixed soon, as this is very cumbersome, esp. with multiple inhibitors, which make the required calculation for the density adjustment non-trivial.
-== Crashes ==
+== v1.04 bugs ==
-The system currently (TDM v1.03) crashes when saving a mission, or when loading such a savegame. Also it can crash at the end of the game session. These are probably due to incorrect memory management (double free by the system itself, and then by the doom engine again). This has been fixed for TDM v1.04.

-== Model Regeneration takes too long ==
+=== image map "splat2" not found ===
-The Model Generator can take up to 1/3 of a second to rebuild complex models. 95% of that time are spent in the closed source parts of the engine. A workaround will be implemented for v1.04 by completely redesigning the model generator.
+Some entities like '''atdm:random_grass_dense''' refer to a image map named '''splat2'''. The file for it was accidentily not checked into SVN, so the file is missing from the distribution.

	The calculation of the entity based on the density does not take into account ~~inhibitors, nor~~ the ~~falloff distribution~~ of ~~any image map based inhibition~~. Instead it always assumes that all entities are distributed evenly across the entire space.		The calculation of the entity based on the density does not take into account the area of inhibitors. Instead it always assumes that all entities are distributed evenly across the entire space.

	This means adding inhibitors to one space of the seed will redistribute the inhibited entities to the other spaces, not just suppress them. Or in other words, if a given density will produce 100 entities inside the SEED area, adding an inhibitor that suppresses the entities in one half, there will still be 100 entities in the other half of the area.
