Summary0010292: Metal Gate vs Iron Gate
DescriptionI like the new Metal Gates, which are color-coded locks that require keys of the same color. However, they're too common-looking -- the previous color doors looked a lot more intriguing. The only advantage these new ones have is that it's easier to tell which color is required. (Blue and purple looked similar, especially if a wall's shadow darkened them.)

I suggest that we use this new metal gate as the iron gate at the beginning of the game. It has several points within it where if a Gray tried to climb or reach through, it could be fatal.

The old color-coded locks look otherworldly-fancy, as though some non-human force put them there. The uses for color doors, so far, reflect this idea.

* Added a new IronFence and IronGate which are in a new Iron section of the Background; these use graphics based on the color gates.

* The old "mysterious" colored metal gate graphics are back, albeit improved and manually scaled up so that they look nice in the new game.

I see that you also implemented these in the family's backyard. :) Looks great, and I didn't even notice the discontinuation of the river until I was putting them in place on Level 94, which is the overrun version of Level 1. Having an iron fence is so much better than a wall!

Oh, and yes, the mysterious colored doors look much cleaner and more detailed. I'm very happy with how bright the colored gems in the center are!

Glad you like them!

Did I not make it so that these can be BGCOMBINED with water? I was going to do that, so the water would go under them properly. If I didn't that would make a good mantis issue. :)

I tried using BGCOMBINE, but nothing happened. I have created a separate issue for this. Thanks!
