In the Gwanni crypt there is some ugly palette or color cycling or transparency issue.
Attached are a screenshot of the original in DOSBox and Exult.

    some more investigation and odd findings:
    - there is another shape that does not have the correct translucency
    - in the original both change from bright blueish to dark blueish ("freckled") when the avatar moves, or rather when he changes directions
    - there is one blinking part that is also blinking in the original, perhaps unintended
    - AFAICT the big shape is #390:16 and the other #531:8, both are reported as 3D shapes in Terminal

    I'm attaching another screenshot of the original that shows the other 531:8 shape and how the big one has changed color to dark blue.

    The other Exult screenshot is there to highlight the differences.

    Looking over, these all have the same trait in common (except for the incorrectly flashing color in Exult+original): the shapes in the chunk do not cover it in full. The original may be just drawing over what was already there without clearing, with the result being that the (generally white) leftovers cover the voids adequately (but with some potential artifacts).

    I am not at all sure on how to fix these...

    There's also some dirt inside Melino's house for similar reasons. Almost like the Chunk used needs a special case?
