In the Iceworks style (and this style only), place a secret wall on a square, with a normal wall on the squares N, E, S of it, leaving the square to the west empty. As far as I can see, the secret wall doesn't have any visible signs of being secret, when it should.

It becomes visible if you add the 4th wall to the west edge, strangely enough.

edit - oh, and adding walls around it sometimes seems to make it visible - eg add one to the SE.

I mentioned it privately to the developers a month ago, simply because I felt there are a few ways to "exploit" this bug and make extremly annoying holds. From what I remember, it may be an annoying bug to fix, so I'm not sure whether a fix will be made or not. Then again, I'm not on the dev team, so my word is likely wrong.

You can add walls to the SW and NW and it still won't be visible.

That's pretty weird.

Game on,

What I was told was that, going by Oneiro's ASCII drawing, the wall marked "S" simply wasn't drawn with a crack in it, therefore any wall formations shaped similar to that will have the vertex look like a normal wall.

I've fixed this in newer full release versions. It is difficult to patch though. So one way to fix it is to download the latest full release JtRH install. We might come up with an alternate fix though, since downloading the whole thing again just to fix one tile graphic is pretty extreme.
