0006145: Autoexclusions go through glass walls - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Tracker

Notes

(0019854) Galefury (updater) 2012-09-02 14:02	I think autoexclusions should behave consistently, and not stop at glass.

I guess a case could be made that behind a closed door is somehow farther than behind glass, but it doesn't seem like a very strong one. I don't know of autoexclusions being applied to sleeping monsters. I would assume that sound treats glass walls like normal walls. I have a vague memory of trying and failing to wake up some insubstantial wisps on the other side of a glass wall once, but no guarantees. Personally, I find autoexclusions annoying when they block legitimately safe movement. This is a clear instance of this, as the passage being blocked is the only approach to the teleporter and is in no danger. The other offender for this is LOS-sized exclusions around warrior statues with axes, whips, etc., but that would presumably be harder to address and would arguably be spoilery (how do I know that statue doesn't also have a wand?).
