I'm gonna need more information on this one. I don't think I follow you. If you can provide a test project that shows this in action, that would be helpful.
|
hmmm actually looks like this is another problem... but ill send you pics
| |
 in map editor | |
 not in map editor | |
even after i deleted it, it prosists
| |
though i thought it was caused by my first problem, my first problem still happens. This problem i have no idea
| |
okay that problem i fixed, now ill show you a picture of the mine thats probably not my fault
| |
 see how a piece is missing? Well its on the map. And only does this once I overlap at least two objects over the same space  as shown below, thought what was in it would be better | |
Turf overlays inherit the direction of their parent turf. The problem is that you are using directions rather than states for tile edges' unique directional states.
It makes sense to do it that way, but it causes this problem. This is not a bug. | |
Oh okay thank you ter that makes sense. I'll turn them to separate icons
| |
IMO it actually is a bug, but it's a legacy issue that's not only hard to fix, but could frell up existing games. There's an old bug report on that somewhere.

it's a legacy issue that's not only hard to fix, but could frell up existing games. Well, if it's a bug, it's been broken longer than either of us have been on BYOND. I assume that your new overlay override flags will probably fix this? | |

Nope; the bug is actually in the map loader. So... What you are saying is that we're doomed? | |
I think the problem is that the appearance for the underlay isn't being created with the proper flag that forces the dir to stay the way it was set.
There's also a bug with the map loaded regarding pixel offsets on underlays. | |
