[crossfire] undecipherable code

[tchize]

Ok, i'll try to move this somewhere else to speed up map loading process.
(while commented and a few other loops commented, load time is 
unnoticeable :) )

      I believe this behaviour is related to unique floors saving items on them.

      Unique floors do have unique set, so other items on them should care about

       That is correct, but that snippet isn't looking at just the floors - it is

       To me, that seems incorrect - as tchize says, it means if I drop say a

       If the processing stopped once beyond the floors, I'd imagined it would be

       the FLAG_OBJ_ORIGINAL has something to do with the overlay maps.  Garbled

       Arguably, with addition of overlay maps, shouldn't be much need for the

       I'd be more tempted for the unique object maps to go away - at least the
