As pointed out to me via lancer spotting a doubly-incorrect description in the current help file, BOARD_COLOR does take transparency into account; that is, if the target coordinates contain a floor with a non-zero background color, and an object with a background color of zero moves over the coordinates, BOARD_COLOR will now report the displayed color (foreground of the object + background of the floor). 2.70 ignored transparency and reported the native foreground+background color of the object. Change dates to 2.80 vanilla.

Updating version to: GIT

I assume you are asking for board_color to mask out transparency in future versions? Or is this just a reminder to update the help file?

Correct assumption, though I need to see if any post-DOS world relies on the change (I doubt it, but it's certainly possible). The current behavior might be desirable, so introducing a counter to act in the now-current behavior might be a worthwhile addition later.

A counter to change the behavior wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but I think a better option while we're adding counters is to revert the behavior back to <2.80 with a compatibility hack for 2.80<=ver<=2.83 if necessary, and give the user access to the under layer -- BOARD_UNDER counters (BOARD_UNDER_COLOR BOARD_UNDER_PARAM) or vch/vco equivalents across the board (bprX,Y ucoX,Y ochX,Y).

Yep, that's the best fix. We'll add the counters and release as 2.84 to allow the compatibility fix to work.
