Error with ladders

Post by Yukiko »

Our players get stuck at the bottom of ladders using the latest core. I know it's not my map because we never had this problem until the latest 0.97 release.

I ran the UO convert that came with the latest release and regenerated the realms and retested it. Still have this problem. I rolled back to the 10-29-06 release and all is well. Ladders work great. This is using the realm data generated with the UO convert from the latest release.

My thought is there might be a problem with the new metric for character height. I seem to recall Maud or one of the developers mentioning that the character height was changed in one of the last releases of 0.97 core. Was there a corresponding change in the latest UO convert to match the character height change in the core.

Anyway, please look into this. I want to stay up to date on the latest beta. If you need a copy of my map to test let me know.

Just tested with the 01-02-07 release of the core and the issue seems to have reappeared. However I am still using the realm data created with the latest release. I will rebuild the realm with the UO convert from the 01-02-07 releae.

The problem persists with the last two core releases.

I tried the uoconvert utility released with each release and no change.

The core from last year seems to not have this problem.

This bug was reported by CWO a while ago. Last reports were that the the whole character z was going to be looked into again.

We've been waiting for an 097 rc3 for a while now but I don't think the devs are active right now. I hope I'm wrong.

No this wasnt the error I reported. Mine was that players can walk right on top of tables in 096. They have said but I haven't been able to confirm yet that this doesn't exist in 097. They have known of this problem I think in the latest core though.

Edit: heres the error report before posted just below in this forum http://forums.polserver.com/viewtopic.php?t=1255

Ah, I really thought that your box height problem would account for the ladders too. I had noticed it got broken too.

We have the same problem.
If the roof is not high enough, the character is "teleported" up.

Another question: With the old core (096) the max distance to LoS was 12 tile, now it is 11, how can i change it?

Oh Great and Mighty Maud Dib, can you please look into this bug?

I think character height should be moved back down to 9. Never had any problems with it then. It's been a big nightmare since.

There would be reasons for it changing from 9, so I am happy for the devs to decide what it should be. However, we should all be ready to test if they are looking for volunteers.

It's my #1 problem. Most stuff on 097 is what I've been waiting for for years so it's not like I am going back to an old core or even 095. It's a pleasure to code on 097.

I don't care much what the height is as long as the damn thing works and it used to work and now it don't!!!
