Sprite Layering (v0.16)

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.

I've posted a classic example of this error, which I think highlights the problem perfectly. It looks very odd!

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?
