Monster sprite collision with player

OK, one issue that i cant keep my eyes off of is... The Large maggots... when i face them from the side, they keep having theyr head on me -_-

Im sorry to say but that is NOT right -_-, is there a way to keep a space between monsters and characters?

like... instead of just using hte ONE tile the maggot is on, make it so the maggot takes 2 tiles to stand on

The collision system is rather imprecise and inconvenient like it is anyway, and with our new server we'll be looking for another solution. I think most will prefer to drop the tile-based movement. At the same time I'd like to switch to a system where creatures have a radius that can vary with their size. Well this should for example solve the problem where a maggot head sticks through your body.

I agree drop the tile based system and base it off their size.

Well we could create (with the new server) xml files containing monster properties such as bounding boxes for every frame i think...
