Zodiac V2: Suggestions

[haro41]

I never got into zodiac because of some main issues with combat.
i feel the hit recognition is very poor on zodiac. If a mob is in range of you, you should be able to hit them back as well.
Also, I was killing liches, and I noticed they would ignore walls and the shape of the room and walk over any obstacle directly towards you.
Alot of the early content is pretty poor. The levels are bad, the mobs are lame. I was turned off by zodiac because this stuff just sucked imo.

Just thought I'd chime in with an update related to this issue.

This was due to using triggeraction (Implemented in 2005) and tonight I finally re-did it to use a cone/distance-based method and triggerserver.

Wasn't there already something to make movements more flued? I think it was something with path-functions or so...

We implemented Downsider's interpolation to help smoothen player movement (which should be done by client itself) but that doesn't solve the shortcomings of triggeraction.
