Enabling Collision

[cello1993]

Hey!
Could someone pleasee help me to enable collision?
It is very annoying without it ¬¬

I already extracted Vmaps, and put it in core folder
To compile collision, this is what I did: trunk/src/collision/collision_vc9 => compile in Release, then I got the collision.dll and collision.lib from the many files in Release and put it too in core folder.

But when I enable collision in arcemu_world.conf, THE NPCs SIMPLY DON'T MOVE! (neither attack ... they just do NOTHING!)

Please, does anyone knows what is that?

Thanks a loott :wave:

Collision is LOS checks...

anyways, when I enable it the NPCs don't move (neither attack) ... can you explain that?

I'm not exactly sure what collision does, but it seems useless to me.

I haven't had any problems without it, so I'm guessing it's something just to make the zones more stable or something.

Any useful comments? I mean .... yes it does something ¬¬ it stops NPCs from going through walls (I already said that =/) .... so anyone who really KNOWS something about could please give me a hand here? >.<

I had this problem too. Update your core to the latest revision and re extract your maps/vmaps. Btw my collision is ****ed too so Im not 100% sure how to help. :/

Yeayy I did it ^^ thanks for the help guys, just re-extracted maps first, then vmaps and run the assembler. Worked fine after I enabled it =]

hummm ¬¬ maybe not x/ I discovered that only some NPCs works fine after enabling collision ¬¬, still quite a bunch that don't move

Yeah, its some of the map IDs that doesn't include in the vmap_assembler. You can understand it a bit more by reading this. So practicly it says that you can include other maps in the vmap_assembler to make more map IDs work properly.
If that didn't change anything then you should try to update your arcemu core also. But I have a issue like this also so I can't really say what you should do.
