I'm not familiar with more modern versions of Q2. I run 3.20 stock, so I don't know about newer download options. I do know that the stock Q2 download is hideously slow (for reasons of preserving gameplay).
Also, it is a windows32 MFC application, but I could at least give it command-line support.

BTW, what's a Quiablo - a FPS version of Diablo? Interesting... more than I'd be able to bite off though!
If you need help with a Linux port, then I may be able to help you. I would probably start by distilling the interface down to a command line (which is better for being called by another program).Also, are you interested in going down the open-source route, so that others have the chance to improve your code?
makes me think that there also has to be an intelligent way to place enviro suits at the beginning of a dead end pathway that's 80% or more covered with slime. That path could then be allowed to have an item at the end.Same with stairs. Maybe a path that decides to go upwards, tests first to see if there are 2 or 3 moves available in the north, south, west, or east direction first to add stiars. If any of these paths segments are already rooms then make an ele instead.As for "centers" think of The Edge. The Outside, the center arena, and the mega room are all "Centers". The real definition would be this. Centers are rooms that paths lead to. In any map you can describe every single room as one of the following 3 things. A center where most combat takes place, a pathway that leads to a center, or a pathway containing an item that a player will walkthrough normally but generally will not fight in.
Having more than one "center", or what I'd call an "arena"
