abomination tile variations

hi, i´d like to ask for a little help here....playing 0.15.2, i noticed macabre masses and small abominations, when they fuse and turn into large abominations, always seem to generate only the first tile style (the one which looks like a green mound with bits of flesh). is it possible to alter the source code so they could generate the other tile versions as well, randomly ? if so....what exactly should i add or change in the source code to make it so ?
thank you for your attention.

Probably you'd need to do something like:
- Code:
#ifdef USE_TILE
merge_to->props[TILE_NUM_KEY].get_short() = ui_random(256);
#endif
somewhere in _do_merge_crawlies() in mon-abil.cc.

thanks, but...mmmmm....maybe i placed it somewhere wrong in the mon-abil.cc. it couldn´t compile.
"mon-abil.cc: in function 'bool _do_merge_crawlies(monster*, monster*)´:
mon-abil.cc:541: error: 'TILE_NUM_KEY' was not declared in this scope
make: *** [mon-abil.o] Error 1".
.....i really don´t know much about c++, i should have said...no idea what went wrong.

Whoops... the TILE_NUM_KEY macro was added later it seems. Try "tile_num" (with the quotes) instead.

and that did it. thank you very much. i was kind of puzzled by how abominations had variations, but those only showed up on spawning, but not from them fusing together.
