For those of you who work with the BoA graphics:
Have you noticed that the BoA wall seem to be a few pixels off? If you examine the walls in-game there is slight gap between walls causes seeming drop. Also, the corner walls are off.

I'm trying to fix it by making correct template (rather than copying the non-white space of a default wall) and by using the templates I get perfect walls in PS for straight runs, but not using the L corners (using a |_ configuration is fine), but not in-game.

Has anyone found a way to fix this?

I don't know... I've noticed it, but never thought it was really worth the effort to fix. For a while, I thought it might've been something wrong with the custom walls I was using.

Hm. I have spent over 2 days in PS examining each wall piece and trying to figure what is missing. 8 hours and all I have fixed is the top row of a wall set. A major problem is that there are missing pixels and some pieces are a pixel high/low. Also wall are adjusted by +-18/+-12 pixels, yet I calculate +-18/+-13 on my test. Odd.

edit:
After much determination and testing I have found that the problem lies with... the game engine and its attempt to compensate for the zig-zag pattern created by the floor tiles. Most notable using the L corners. When not using the L corners, the game renders a-okay. The most notable problem is created by the short cutaways of a wall that are used by an L-corner. Their Y position is off.

Also, any attempts to correct the problems of the L-corners are futile as the game engine will determine what icon and cutaway icon(s) to use, not the data script.

This might be part of the host of reasons Jeff has decided that Blades is not a supportable program. I think that we will just have to work within the provided interface, rather than headbutt the walls hoping for relief. ;)
