Sanctuary glyphs do not spawn on certain tiles about broguece HOT 4 CLOSED

Sanctuary glyphs spawn on the liquid layer. Clearing out the liquid layer when a glyph spawns would be unintuitive, as it would allow you to e.g. beach bog monsters or kraken that were grappling you in the middle of shallow water. Maybe we can move the glyph to the surface layer?

On SURFACE we face a similar issue with (say) dense foliage. If we read the scroll in some bushes, the glyphs will not appear under them even after trampling.

The scroll could clear out the surface layer, which may be moderately more appropriate than doing so in the liquid layer. Notable surface layer things that such a scroll would then be able to demolish:

• DF_BLOAT_EXPLOSION
• DF_MUTATION_EXPLOSION
• DF_MUTATION_LICHEN
• DF_TUNNELIZE
• DF_SHATTERING_SPELL
• DF_SILENT_GLYPH_GLOW, DF_GUARDIAN_STEP, DF_MIRROR_TOTEM_STEP (other stone guardian glyphs?)
• ..also various fires including brimstone, and flood trap water.

Not sure if I'm interpreting that dungeonFeaturesCatalog correctly though.

Putting it on SURFACE (or DUNGEON for that matter) still does not allow the glyphs to form on brimstone it seems.

Or maybe I'm doing it wrong, I'm changing the .layer of the SACRED_GLYPH dungeonFeature entry.

from broguece.

Placing the sacred glyphs in SURFACE allows the dungeon feature to spawn, but the glyph's own draw priority isn't high enough to draw over brimstone.

This was ultimately the original problem in LIQUID as well, where draw priority was used to determine if the glyphs could even be placed (they could not.) Now they're invisible but present (monsters won't walk over them.)

If I also raise the priority of the sacred glyph to be more important than the various fires, then they are indeed visible again and things are as perhaps they should. Alternately we could consider decreasing the priority of the fire.
