Fixed?

[Madroxtheninja]

Did not want to hijack official thread, in Shepard’s copy and paste I did not see Jedi/BH ( it is 4am I may have missed it) is visability fixed or still broken from pub 8 with pub 9? Or do you guys know? Just curious since it wasn’t mentioned

Has anyone confirmed that it was broken?

I know several of you assume that following the Pub 8 patch visibility was broken, but it looks to have been left to the vanilla SWGEmu values. If that was broken and needed fixed why wasn't it fixed in the months following the patch? It is a matter of changing a couple numbers. I have to believe it was intentional.

When you stand in front of a jedi watching him auto attack animals for over an hour then vis is broken.
I have not had that much time to test but i manged to term ursa in a few minutes following some practices that some have been doing on live.
Jury's still out whether its fixed entirely,that will be when i manage to put the time in.

That isn't a visibility issue as much as an auto attack problem. The system was not treating it as a combat action. That allowed a player to perform a second action without any cooldown. I'm sure this is also why it wasn't triggering the visibility value to increase.

Its not just auto attacks it is broken as far as being seen by another player,even spinning lairs doesn't generate vis.
These are facts and i have witnessed them,the question is whether it still exists under P9 conditions.I cant quite recall when i saw it as it was a long time ago but even EMU devs made a note about it.
And you are correct it was left at EMU values, bugs and all but with no-fix as we are behind EMUs patches and not all of our custom code was reapplied.

Obviously, we will not be 100% transparent with how visibility works. However, we can confirm that it defaulted to what SWGEMU had implemented when pub 8 was released. This overwrote how Awakening previously set it. This will be looked at for pub 9 release, or a patch update shortly after.

Yea auto attack on the SWGEMU server didn't cause vis so Jedi over there were legitimately afk leveling in caves with zero risk.
