Type: Difference from DM / personal preference
Monsters are not drawn last, so that objects can appear over them causing weird effects. In all versions of DM, monsters are <b> always</b> drawn last so that they appear over all objects. That may not be technically correct, but it looks much better in my opinion.

Re: Sprite Layering (v0.16)
I've posted a classic example of this error, which I think highlights the problem perfectly. It looks very odd!

Re: Sprite Layering (v0.16)
agreed..larger creatures such as worms, scorpions and dragons look odd with objects drawn over them - but is this an easy fixgiven smaller monsters have to be drawn before if on the back tiles?
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!
