"You Cannot See Your Target" Seems like entire dmg line

[Bach]

Hi All,
I'm getting this everytime I try to cast a damage spell on a MOB.
I'm using EQEmu-0.7.0-842.
Any help would be great...
Thanks

One time enough...
Have you maps directory with maps files in your eqemu directory (not client) ?

I noticed this too (using the same version with Cavedudes DB) in a couple places with lots of spawns like the Field of Bone (the Burnies' are one of them). It seems like they are spawns that haven't spawned yet. But I am not sure. They usually de-pop and spawn as normal after the zone has been up a while.

Thanks for the reply CrabClaw!
I thought it was the initial pop too and did a depop and pop but nothing happened....same result. Also while in this state MOBs don't agro BUT I can initiate melee which they do react to. The "You Cannot See your target" message seems to be related to casting spells on MOBS while they are in this "dumb" state. I'll try what you suggested and let the server depop and see what happens.

I may try to roll back to an earlier build of 070 and see what happens as well.
Thanks for the reply,
Let me know if you can think of anything else

Yes I do have the map files in the eqemu directory.

Thanks again

Ok I did something stupid :o When extracted the maps my extractor created a maps folder in the maps folder so technically I didn't have any maps.

You aren't alone. I done that too

I've had problems with just simply melee'ing mobs unless I am almost directly on center of their target ring, which I have yet to figure out why.

Is there a smaller file than this 300MB maps file below?

I only ask because I have a "blazin fast" 26.4k connection and such a large file will take hours to download.

Thanks in advance!

nope, thats the only download that works.

you need maps.tar

most oow + zones dont have maps

I seem to be having this problem also.
Have updated the map files and redownloaded them and still does the same thing. cant seem to get them to work anyway i try. Bad thing is I play a neco.

Indeed - even with the map files this seems to be a problem on my test server as well, at times. Notice I said, at times. Most of the time casting works fine, other times I cannot see my target even though my target is trying to kill me. So I dunno ...I have all the map files as well, and properly installed.

Anyway I made a lot of custom changes to my server in the server code, and one of the things I saw in features.h was an option to turn LoS on regardless of the map files being there ..something like that ...but it's also commented in there that turning it on is resource hungry ...I haven't used it, but it could be tried I suppose.
