ALLOWHITFROMSHIP

[xMirroRx]

// COMBAT_ALLOWHITFROMSHIP 00040 // Allow attacking opponents from ships
COMBATFLAGS = 040

spells, arrows, etc..

this flag does not seem to work.

Don't seem the problem came from there.

When your hit are block because of this settting, you should have a message. Would you give more details?

[xMirroRx]

Example: Cannot use magic, arrow, etc. attacks from one ship to an enemy on another ship.

I think the bug is more LOS bug... I tested te setting HITfrom ship and work very well. When your hit is block by this setting, you have a message:

Look on the picture, I removed 1 piece of ship for having my LOS. I think the bug is more on LOS formula where t_ship part should allow LOS

[Jhobean]

I checked the core to see why ship part block the los.

All happen HERE:

Source-X/src/game/chars/CCharLOS.cpp

Line 81 in 520f2fb

if ( (zDiff > PLAYER_HEIGHT) || (dwBlockFlags & (CAN_I_BLOCK|CAN_I_DOOR)) || (iDistTry > iMaxDist) )

Don't think on fiddler Ship suppose to block LOS

on the Core it's clear FLAG CAN_I_BLOCK is there

Would like to add some restriction with this somewhere:
if (pItem->IsType(IT_SHIP_PLANK) || pItem->IsType(IT_SHIP_SIDE) || pItem->IsType(IT_SHIP_SIDE_LOCKED))

Here You go! Activate advance LOS on the ini and you will be able to shoot on ship:

// Uses the new LoS algorithm
// ADVANCEDLOS_DISABLED   00 // Disabled, use the old method
// ADVANCEDLOS_PLAYER     01 // Enabled only for players
// ADVANCEDLOS_NPC        02 // Enabled only for NPCs
AdvancedLos=01

Will be cool to have the option without advance LOS too

requiring LOS will prevent the majority of attacks from happening to targets outside your ship. 99% of boat fights will be magery, archery, thrown objects, and potions. this essentially makes ship combat impossible without some type of cannon system and renders this setting unusable unless the shard has melee weapons that will hit things many tiles away.
