Size4 monsters

Post by Zyx »

Thies goes for the special "speeded" monsters of size4:

Sometime the monster (in fact a group of 4 monsters of size4) makes an attack but the sprite displayed remains the quiet, front view.

I think they should behave this way:
* If anyone of the (hidden) monsters composing a group of size4 attacks, then the attack sprite should be displayed.

* the duration of their attack sprite should be divided by the number of monsters in the group.
(So a group of 4 monsters of size4 will make attacks 4 times shorter)

If any monster in the group is attacking then the attack graphic is supposed
to be drawn. This seems to work for me. Can you supply a save game
with a recording that demonstrates that this does not work? I will need any
special graphics files, too.
