Corrections§

About the ‘Door editor’, the ADGE readme says: “Non-materials cannot pass: Any monster that is nonmaterial cannot pass through this door.”
This flag name and definition is incorrect, because every non material creature can always pass through every door.
In fact this flag determines whether creatures can see the party through the closed door, in order to open the door or cast a spell. For example, if this flag is disabled for a grate door, you will be able to see creatures through the door but they won’t.

There are some mistakes in the Monster Editor dialog box. Here are the corrections:

In the Monster Graphic Info dialog box, the side and back graphics are swapped.
