Is there any effective method to get rid of annoying trap types in V?

[Obsilium]

I have been trying to eliminate trap doors from my Angband version without success. Is there any proper method for doing so? I really like to completely finish all levels that I enter and in moments of stupidity I tend to allow mobs like Harowen to TD me to the next level.

Find the function pick_trap in trap.c

Change to be like follows.

void pick_trap(int y, int x)
{
	int feat;

	static const int min_level[] =
	{
		2,		/* Trap door */
		2,		/* Open pit */
		2,		/* Spiked pit */
		2,		/* Poison pit */
		3,		/* Summoning rune */
		1,		/* Teleport rune */
		2,		/* Fire rune */
		2,		/* Acid rune */
		2,		/* Slow rune */
		6,		/* Strength dart */
		6,		/* Dexterity dart */
		6,		/* Constitution dart */
		2,		/* Gas blind */
		1,		/* Gas confuse */
		2,		/* Gas poison */
		2,		/* Gas sleep */
	};

	/* Paranoia */
	if (cave_feat[y][x] != FEAT_INVIS) return;

	/* Pick a trap */
	while (1)
	{
		/* Hack -- pick a trap */
		feat = FEAT_TRAP_HEAD + randint0(16);

		/* Check against minimum depth */
		if (min_level[feat - FEAT_TRAP_HEAD] > p_ptr->depth) continue;

		[COLOR="Red"]/* Hack -- no trap doors */
		if (feat == FEAT_TRAP_HEAD + 0x00) continue;[/COLOR]

		/* Done */
		break;
	}

	/* Activate the trap */
	cave_set_feat(y, x, feat);
}

Recompile.

Or you could just change the min_level for trap doors to something big, from eg. 2 to 200.

The trick seems to be that I am not a compiling expert at all. I tried looking at the instructions on the Wiki but I'm not any nearer to getting it done right.

Good point, but make it a legal level or it might cause problems. (Say, 125)

If you want an alternative set of instructions, the ones for Angband/65 will (largely) apply. (The ones for VC++ IDE). Big Al's idea is easiest, though.
