[Suggestion] LOS and boats - Coruja - 03-02-2014 07:43 AM
on sphere theres no way to get LOS through the water, unless you use AdvancedLOS (maybe)
for many years we lost something interesting: pvp on boats. If I'm standing on my boat and a "enemy boat" appears, all we can do is say hi and go away because there's no way to attack each other (LOS out of range)
here on my server I doesn't use AdvancedLOS and can't enable it because even it is better, no one likes this playstyle with spells passing through items, etc
so the idea is: allow LOS through water even with AdvancedLOS disabled. I think there's no need to completely rewrite all the LOS code, maybe just make a few changes to allow LOS through some boats and water tiles

And what are we suppose to call this? PartialAdvandedLOS?

nah, its not a new feature, just a "small" change on the default LOS to allow ppl cast spells through boats

do you at least have COMBAT_ALLOWHITFROMSHIP on?
RE: [Suggestion] LOS and boats - Coruja - 03-06-2014 07:48 AM
yea, COMBAT_ALLOWHITFROMSHIP is enabled
after some tests I here, found that the "problem" is not really on water tiles, because if I put 2 chars directly on the water they have LOS to each other and can cast spells without problems. So probably the LOS is being blocked by the ship multi, not by the water
