Re: [crossfire] Re: New movement code.
Yes, and that's fine for that map. I don't want my prisondemadness suddenly becoming worthless, or my maps suddenly becoming easily traverable because OMG WE SHOULD WALK THROUGH WALLS WITH WRAITHS (else brain esplode!).

All of them. No player should ever beable to move through walls (unless specified by the map perhapse). Walls should remain no_pass. Now if you wanted walls that things could pass through... up to the map maker, but don't change the default behavior. Don't f**k up the existing maps or my maps please. This idea is horrible IMHO. Why not just have blank maps then if you're going to screw up walls. How bout a fork of crossfire wallsmeannothing-fire. It wouldn't even need any maps. I can't believe this is even being seriously discussed. Someone come's in and says hey let's make walls passable!!111 and here we are oh yea... they're like not walls! If you can't get around that fact wraith-players can't go through walls... then take wraits out (not recommended). This is stupidity.

Re: [crossfire] Re: New movement code. (Wraith stuff) (Please don't implement)
If there were an etheral movement type added it would not be implemented in existing maps by default (they still have block all) just like the other movement changes. In archived movement related threads this 'ghostwalk' type movement was proposed. I would also put forth an addition to the suggestions, the idea that etheral travelers would not be able to pass 'iron' either so it would only work against wood walls and stone and the like. This gives us an out as well to explain why some walls aren't passable - they have iron in them (like in the nails of a door or in the ore of the stone/dirt).

Re: [crossfire] Re: New movement code.
There isn't any real difference between walls and other blocked tiles (like water) currently - everything is either blocked or not blocked. This is all part of the changes Mark is making to the movement code. Changing the blocking code has a lot of interesting repercussions. That's why it's being discussed. With the changes to movement - existing maps cannot be automatically changed since they will break. However new maps and updates to old maps will be better designed if we hash out as many of the different movement changes we want to make in advance. There has been some interesting ideas - I think it would be good to point out that we want to make movement as consistant and understandable as possible to avoid players having to experiment with every object on the map. This will mean when you do break the rules it will be effective. A quick summary of ideas I have: very high mountains (mountain_5) remains blocked high mountains (mountain_4) require 'climbing' or 'flying' movement type to pass rivers remain blocked (how to explain this re flying?) *most* wall types and doors remain blocked Wasteland remains blocked (or becomes like swamp?) except to flying shallow sea requires a 'swimming' or 'sailing' or 'flying' movement type sea and deep sea require a 'sailing' or 'flying' movement type new types of jungle and woods require a 'woodlands' or 'flying' movement type flying has limits on range swimming has a drowning behaviour (like swamp)? climbing has a falling behaviour (like swamp)? again these changes are foreward only and existing maps would have to be modified to use the new code/arches Mitch Obrian wrote: Please do NOT make anyone able to go through walls.
