When viewing a door through a wall, with the window (OH EW RA) spell, the door appears to be facing the party even when it should be perpendicular to the party.
It's a minor point, and I don't know how hard it would be to fix, or even if it's worth the effort.
(fixed) window spell at doors, bug

I actually knew about this, but it's one of those little things that I wasn't going to bother to fix unless someone else noticed... oh well.
Unlike DM, DSB doesn't keep track of a "direction" for its doors, so the front of the door has to be inferred. I could always make this something that could be optionally specified, though:
Here's my idea:
- Make it optional to specify the "front" of a door.
- If one is specified, it's easy to know when to render it.
- If not, don't render a door if there's a wall in front.
If anyone has a better idea speak now or this'll be what you're stuck with.

Exactly! That's why DSB initially made no assumptions-- the door was always presumed to be "facing front."beowuuf wrote:Lol, sophia, didn't you yourself fall foul of this for SS? With that mine door that faced the wrong way because the engine made door assumptions?
That doesn't work in some cases, though.
