Invisible Players Issue

[MattKan]

Dev YoGiWonka was purchased about an hour ago and is currently experiencing an issue where, unless players are within about 2 tiles of each other, they are invisible to each other.

There are no scripts on the server. Restarting the NPC server did not solve this issue.

Any ideas?

first off it the sever was not staff only others could see the problem...

Bet is it's some kinda optimisation aimed at mobile servers.

Check this in your server options

PHP Code:

 syncdistancex=number
 syncdistancey=number
 syncbydistanceinside=true/false

Define the radius (in tiles) at which players are synced to the screen. 
This is used for GMAPs to reduce players from being drawn outside of 
the specified radius. By default, it is being drawn at 192x192.

Beat me to it.

It's some sort of sync error you are experiencing. As the server is that new I doubt you are having any scripts changing the sync distance, so it should only be that serveroption

This fixed it, thanks!

Default must be 2 or something now because those lines weren't in the server options at all before.
