The random real room version: (to avoid non-existant possibilities)
/* NOTE: ch->in_room != NOWHERE */
real_zone = world[ch->in_room].zone;
if (real_zone < top_of_zone_table)
high = real_room(zone_table[real_zone + 1].number * 100);
else
high = top_of_world_table;
low = real_room(zone_table[real_zone].number * 100);
to_real_room = number(low, high);
If you want a random virtual number, try:
'zone_table[zone].number * 100' to 'zone_table[zone].top'
