The quick brown dog jumped over the lazy corpse...

... and got stuck.

OK, I had implemented destructible corpses (using FTEQW's SOLID_CORPSE extension) and pretty much everything works as expected, except when a dog does a leap attack and gets stuck on any corpse in the way.

Besides, I observed that when items like backpacks (that uses SOLID_ITEM + MOVETYPE_TOSS) drops over corpses they don't fall on ground, but stay over the corpse. Is this expected behavior ? While this is not a big deal, I got a bit surprised.

Now I know the dog leap code is a mess and was always prone to weird behavior like floating dogs, but what are the options to fix it with FTEQW ?

Also, an unrelated request: I want some monsters to spill GREEN blood instead the regular red one. What's the best approach with FTEQW ?

Thanks Madfox and DoctorShadowborg. I should have added that I already didi exactly this change, down to the exact same color index and it works, but visually is not the same as for red blood which is a bit jarring. I had hope that FTEQW could have a trick under the sleeve like a shader or something.

As for SOLID_CORPSE I already change the origin entity to SOLID_BBOX before traceline during attacks and switch back to the old value after, as Spike instructed on fteextensions.qc. But then there is the jump for dog and fiend to fix, and I was hoping for a best direction tip...

try .hitcontentsmaski if you want to be explicit about the types of volumes with which an entity can collide with, be that regular solids, playerclip, monsterclip, bodies (read: normal bbox ents), or corpses.
