Summary0009697: Grays getting their feet wet.
DescriptionAfter reading that you had improved the Grays' pathfinding around water, I decided to try Level 016 (The Factory) again to see if that Gray near the boat would actually start moving. It sure did!

However, I also discovered that Grays can now walk the outermost edges of shallow water, which looks as if they're in shallow water. Further, the Recent Dead actually got stuck in a corner of water and died -- those are his bones in the screenshot. As you can see, the other Grays are "cheating"...

I uploaded two more screenshots. The one called "Feet Wet 1" shows the recent dead before he died -- oops, it looks like the tacks killed him, not the water. The screenshot I didn't rename shows a Game Over screen where the Grays are really showing that they can walk on water! The horror, lol!

With the feet wet thing, that's simply unavoidable because the collision box for the water does not go as far as the graphics do. There's just nothing I can really do about that without making certain things really work worse in terms of the graphics for the water versus how they feel and where enemies get through.

With the new grays falling into water, that was something I fixed months ago and logged somewhere else. If you do see it again do let me know, though!

Fair enough! :) I might place N/E tags in the most obvious key watery locations, depending on the puzzle. Thanks!

Makes sense to me!
