Items of same elevation clipping over each other

[Wizardry Dragon]

If the print screen button didn't stop working for me for some reason I'd post an image, which would be more helpful, but ~

I've noticed a LOT in my map-editing that items get drawn in reverse order sometimes when they share the same elevation.

For example, I have a vertical-laid out wall in Virtue's Hold, ie north-south. I wanted to place some weeds along the base of it. However when I do, the wall segment it is in front of, draws in front of it, instead of behind.

This happens in all sorts of other related instances, such as trying to put signs or wall hangings up, and don't get me started on the second/third floor instances where the floor draws over stuff on top of it, even stuff of higher elevation!

This is pretty obviously a graphic bug - one I dont recall from the original. Any chances of it getting fixed?

If I get print screen working again, I'll post images.

Isn't there some other screenshot utility for your OS? Or the tiny Exult screenshot function?

For some reason its not copying to the clipboard. Forgot Exult had it's own screenshot thing, though.

Had to go out and find something that could make .pcx files into something actually viewable, but here we go:


Walls are a particular hedgehog in my prostate and a pretty reliable way to reproduce it. If you ever have something that spans two wall segments, one of them will *always* clip.


Note the weed. In this case it's not even over two wall segments, and is far away it should it should obviously be drawn in front.

yeah, that looks bad...
I guess it still looks bad on reload?

Could you file a bug report on the tracker with these pics? Not that it helps but at least it is recorded

And yeah, the screenshot feature of Exult could use an overhaul

Can do, when I remember my SF login.
