    Bug #1: GRVT DECO BUG

    Applying DECO to GRVT with an element underneath colors the element underneath, instead of the GRVT.

     

    Steps to reproduce:

    See this save for more details.

    Lol, this save preview has a graphical glitch because of the long title. 3 bugs in one post!

    Bug #2: GRVT PROP TOOL BUG


    GRVT with elements underneath is not affected by the PROP tool. I believe this is for similar reasons as the GRVT DECO bug (GRVT is above the element "layer", and is not affected).

     

    Steps to reproduce:

    See this other save for more details.

     

    BOTH BUGS OCCUR ON TPT VERSION 95.0.345 WIN32

    Layering isn't a feature that's intended to be used or was added to game intentionally so i don't know if it really counts as a bug.

    This isn't layering, since energy particles are intended to overlap with normal particles, and are stored in a separate particle map. This allows us to access either the top energy particle or the top normal particle at any position.

    Continuing on, since energy particles and normal particles are separate, we usually check normal particles first, then energy particles. But seems like energy particles are always rendered on top. So we should probably reverse this and check energy particles first when drawing deco. Although most energy particles don't support deco ... so maybe we should check if it's one that does first.

    Yeah, reversing the normal/energy particle check would fix the issue.
