Line of Sight Issues

[Randymarsh9]

Is there anyway to fix problems with line of sight? In the arena people can only cast on things standing on that center area.

There are multiple versions of the Arena zone. Most likely the .map file you are using for the arena is not the one created from the version of the arena you are trying to use on your server. You can either use the other version it was created for, or you can use Azone2 to create a new .map from the version of the Arena you are using.

How would I go about doing either of those? Sorry trev, but Im a bit of an idiot

Does anyone have the "new arena"'s map? I can't seem to get my azone to generate one correctly. Mine has this problem where mobs can attack, but we cant attack back unless on the pedestal in the middle. A link would would fine to where I could get it.

I can't seem to get my azone to generate one correctly.

I don't know if this is your problem, but azone looks for the S3D first, so rename arena.s3d to arena.s3d.bak and then run

azone arena


and then it should process the .EQG and produce a correct .map for the new arena.

arena.eqg and arena.zon must be in the same directory as azone2.exe.

e.g.

M:\titanium>azone2 arena

Ok, picked up where I left off and still having these issues.

It ONLY happens on the arena floor. I can run up to the center section and have LOS but the floor is the issue.

Upon spawning, if I melee it and it doesn't move I have LOS but as soon as it moves an INCH I loose it until I move to the center platform.

I've used AZONE2 to regen maps without success.
