Possible Tall Grass Mishap?

[DurrCo Games]

Is it normal for the player to, when stepping between grass tiles that would normally render his lower half transparent (and do so when he's standing still on them), becoming fully visible? I don't remember whether or not this has always been a thing, but it strikes me as odd and i do not recall Essentials behaving this way before. Here is a couple screenshots to serve as reference:

On a related note, the character is not making the shuffling noise they normally make when moving through this grass, which is something I am sure is supposed to happen. I tested these things in a raw, untouched version of Essentials to make sure I hadn't just messed something up, But the same exact things happen (or don't happen, I should say.)

Between each tile is a no mans land kind of thing, there is no way to stop that as far as I'm aware... It took me a while to find out how to make tiles that go on to another tile, to be above the player... If you get that, kind of like how a tree takes up multiple tiles.

From the Essentials v14 changelog page on the wikia:

"The player and events now only sink into bush tiles if they're stationary."

So yeah, it wasn't like that before, in-between tiles priority work just fine when you used the bush flag before, and it still works fine if you work with priorities higher than +1 (and in some cases +2) in the tileset editor.

Allright, thanks for the feedback, I'll take your suggestions and try my best to make it work! :) Any word on the sound effect though? I'm sure I can remedy it by adding it to the grass animation in the animations, but I just wanted to know if there was some other problem there.

As JV said, the walking-through-grass animation changed in v14. If you want it to go back to the way it was, though, it's a pretty simple edit. (If you use a nonstandard tileset for tall grass, having it the old way could look better.)

At the bottom of the script section Game_Character_1, remove this text:

  def bush_depth
    if @tile_id > 0 or @always_on_top
      return 0
    end
    xbehind=(@direction==4) ? @x+1 : (@direction==6) ? @x-1 : @x
    ybehind=(@direction==8) ? @y+1 : (@direction==2) ? @y-1 : @y
    if @jump_count <= 0 and self.map.deepBush?(@x, @y) and
                            self.map.deepBush?(xbehind, ybehind)
      return 32
    elsif @jump_count <= 0 and self.map.bush?(@x, @y) and !moving?
      return 12
    else
      return 0
    end
  end

Then, replace it with the following text (which I just ripped from v13):

  def bush_depth
    if @tile_id > 0 or @always_on_top
      return 0
    end
    if @jump_count <= 0 and self.map.bush?(@x, @y)
      return 12
    else
      return 0
    end
  end

That worked for me.

Coincidentally, please let me know if you find a way to make the grass-rustling sound work properly. I've been meaning to get around to that, but haven't yet...

Thank you for this, I appreciate the help :) I will definitely try your suggestion.
As for the rustling sound, I just added the sound to the grass rustle animation, and it works fine lol. That's all I knew to do about it.
