It doesn't use the scene cache at present, I'll look into that as it would probably make my life easier.

It means the mod should ignore anything created by the quest system. It does nothing with them, so they'll behave like normal.

The same stuff that is stored when you save while in a dungeon is made persistent when you leave. Doors, action objects, enemies & loot.

Edit: The previous corpses are there.

Edit2: The Orc in the side room off the audience chamber remains dead.

Edit3: The Imp in the ritual room off the audience chamber came back, as did their treasure.

Edit4: The rogue in the coffin off the audience chamber room did not.

Edit5: The archer in the room with the tables, off the audience chamber, between the room with the two rats and the boxes, and the stairs from the lower corridor, returned.

Anyway, I'll wait for a reply. :)

Thanks for the report, I'm unable to reproduce this. If you haven't already, could you test a different random dungeon? If you could send me your save that would be great as well.

So it's expected that some enemies will still respawn after leaving and re-entering the dungeon, even if the dungeon is set to not reset per the mod (according to my reading of Narf's testing)? Or, maybe there are some fixed enemies e.g. in Privateer's Hold that will still always appear each time you leave and enter the dungeon, even with the mod active?

Same here. I don't have time to test these days, but I can't wait to do so. Amazing!

The bug appears to have disappeared. The dead enemies in Privateer's Hold are still dead, now. Although the treasure piles have regenerated.

I'll see if I can sort out some saves to post.
Previous experience tells me it's very easy to misunderstand the tone, intent, or meaning of what I've posted. If you have questions, ask.

Don't worry about the save unless the issue comes back. The loot containers respawning was due to an oversight on my part, I've got it fixed in the next version.

Would it be possible to load the data in the old format, and save the data in the new format? If not, have you considered versioning your save data?

The first release lacked versioning which was the main problem. I didn't think it would be a problem as it's only been a few days, if you grab the latest version I reverted the change so this won't be an issue for you.
