Curious about a graphical issue I'm having.

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone else here was running into a similar issue as me. I'm using a core mangos 3604 revision that I found on the forums along with project silvermoon db version 5. For the most part everything is working great. What I have been noticing is that sometimes the creatures within the game, along with some portals that I ran across, seem to be partially embedded into the terrain itself. So for instance you might see a barrens huntress walking around, but really only see the head sticking out of the ground while the rest of it is buried within the terrain itself. I've even come across some that are totally underneath the ground but you can still "tab" to the creature and still attack it. Now I also still pay for wow and play on regular servers too since I belong to a guild and have never run across that kind of issue on the official servers, so it seems like it would be something to do with the mangos server settings itself or the values set in the database.

The only other information I can think to offer is that although I'm using the core 3604 mangos revision I found on these forums, I also am using maps that were prepackaged with an "all in one" I found from d.j. ravine which I think was a 3384 revision. I have not tried using the tbc_ad program to copy over the maps from my own local installation yet.

Has anybody else run into this graphical glitch before, and if so know of a way to fix that? It's not a huge deal breaker, but it is kind of annoying.

I'd appreciate any info you could offer up. I'm pretty tech savvy so feel free to throw out technical mumbo jumbo.

In case it's needed, my specs are:
Athlon 64 2800+
1 gig ram
geForce 6600 128 megs ram

Thanks in advance to any and all suggestions.

Sorry guys, just a bump to see if anyone has a clue on my problem.

Probably just bad placing of the NPC's/Portals.

Yeah that was kind of what I was figuring. Not knowing exactly how this all works behind the scenes I just figured that the NPCs and objects would always be above the ground instead of below it. I kind of figured something like that wouldn't even have been a configurable option. Maybe I can somehow adjust some value within the database to get those creatures working like they're supposed to.

Thanks for the reply all the same.
