[RESOLVED] seeing behind doors

Post by schroeder » Fri 01.05.2009, 02:28

so me and emumage were taking on a vault, and he had door creation. Whenever he made a door, or i closed one, i could still see the enemies behind the door, untill I moved.
As a side note, taking a vault with humerhorns when you have door creation, and no resist confusion is funny as hell!

Also on a side not, is it intentional that players can see doors opening and closing on the map not in LOS?

(Or may this just be an effect of Magic Mapping?)

Could you see the monsters as they moved, like ESP? Or were you only seeing where they were when the doors were created?

I saw the monsters, while they were moving. If a new monster showed up in the space, I could see it.

Sounds like the old multiplayer ESP bug... I thought that one was fixed.

It isn't :) neither is swapping spaces with a friendly character if you're entering a lit room being swapped. Sight doesn't update. If these 2 people get swapped, the player below won't be mappin all of the rectangular room. He would see what I have described below.
##..##
##..##
##@.#########
##@..
##......
##.........
##............
#############

The eastern part of the room is unmapped for the lower @ because they switched places. This means the lower @ still sees what happens as if he was standing in the upper @'s place. Same happens if another player shuts a door where you have vision. It doesn't get blocked like it should.

After about 20 years of being in mang codebase, this bug has been resolved (#1303).

Thanks to everyone contributing to the fix and explaining it.

Congrats on the fixing :)

By the way, Vanilla changed character perception around the 4.0 release, so when something happens outside of the character's awareness (monster opening doors, …) the display is NOT updated ("cave" structure + "known cave" structure). I've ported that feature to PWMAngband and it's working fine.

Thanks for that long lasting support! It did cause issues for me when I started playing, but that's because I copied the game from a friend's computer who got the game a while ago and never updated it. I did, and it's now fixed.
