kibora Report post Posted March 14, 2008 The perception formula doesn't seem to be working very well. With light modifier 0 at day time the distance you can see at is 23 tiles. And at night with 31 perception i can see at the same distance (no light sources near by). But this is not the maximum perception you could have, it could be much more (31 perception = 48 reasoning, 14 instinct). Wouldn't it be better if perception affects the day time visibility range as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't it be better if perception affects the day time visibility range as well? Entropy specifically wantd it to only affect the range during the daytime. This is all serverside code as well. If Perceptions was changed to use the entire range, that would make too many people 'blind' at night as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Yes, perception is ONLY for nightime use (for this purpose). But it is also used for arrows and mines, and it's used at daytime too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Florian Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Sometimes bags appear a lot earlier that the people sitting on them, is that supposed to be like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trollson Report post Posted March 17, 2008 I think Florian meant that bags are/can-be visible from a greater range than actors at the same location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted March 17, 2008 I think Florian meant that bags are/can-be visible from a greater range than actors at the same location. It also depends on what the actors are wearing, bags have a high visibility rating, so they can automatically be seen from a farther distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Florian Report post Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) I think Florian meant that bags are/can-be visible from a greater range than actors at the same location. It also depends on what the actors are wearing, bags have a high visibility rating, so they can automatically be seen from a farther distance. Obviously. But the actor who sits on the bag (or the corpse) and the bag on the same tile should have the same visibility. Because the actor/corpse covers the bag ...
