CSB4WINPlus15 incorrectly flips and hides things

Post by Gambit37 »

I have noticed in this latest version that some things are not quite right:

At the junction of the ways, when you first enter you can see the item on the alcove. Step forward one pace and it vanishes. Step forward again and it reappears! This behaviour is consistent with other alcoves that I spotted in supplies for the quick.

Also, there is a problem with monster views being flipped when they shouldn't. There's a golem in the corridor ahead. His club is on the left when he's far away. When I get him in the tile ahead of me, he's flipped the other way. I can run forwards and backwards quickly enough to know that this isn't just a case of the 'random' flipping in action. It's also the same with the side view. 2 and three steps away he's facing left, get him close, and he's facing right! I've also noticed this on hellhounds, but not the dragon.

I thought It was something to do with my new graphics.dat I'm working on, but the behaviour occurs with the original CSB graphics.dat.

Golems always did this in DM, I believe...i always had fun making them do their little shuffling dance

The alcove thing is new, and a bug

I posted CSBwin96Plus16.rar.

Fixes the items-disappearing-from-alcove-at-distance-2 problem.
