[Help] NPCs Walk Through Objects

[cembry90]

Hello. I set up an Amber Mangos server yesterday and shortly went to bed thereafter while a friend was still playing. He told me today that the NPCs could walk through objects (trees, floors, etc.) and have no limit to their field of vision (for example, they can "see" through walls). I just verified this and was wondering why this is. Is this just a bug with the Amber Mangos server? If not, how can I fix this?

EDIT: Casting fireball and other spells is also not limited by field of vision.

Thanks!

Another thing: When fishing in Azuremyst Isle, using the net causes the server to crash (only on low lvl characters though)...

Thanks!

EDIT: Might I add I am using Amber Mangos for WoW version 3.2.2.10505 (AmberGUI [v101 build 2] using v8901)

Upon further playing and trying to figure it out, I find that it is an issue with the NPCs themselves. I can walk through them as if they don't exist.

Thanks!

You can always walk through NPC's as if they don't exist - even on offi.

To fix some LoS issues, make sure to enable vmaps and extract those as well. Other issues, there is generally little you can do about.

AFAIK, vmaps are enabled. I used the default settings - Otherwise I don't know how to check if they are or not.

Thanks!

Edit: How does one know if vmaps are enabled? I have these folders:
C:\MaNGOS\Data\server1\WOTLK\vmaps\
C:\MaNGOS\Data\server2\WOTLK\vmaps\

Does anybody know how to tell if vmaps are enabled and if they are, why do the NPCs and mobs still fly and go through walls to attack something / somebody and have no line of sight?

Thanks!

Server working beautifully now. I FINALLY found the file to enable vmaps but once I did, the NPCs and monsters no longer target through walls.

As far as the crash-when-you-net-salmon, I removed the NPC for now; it's probably just an issue with the server itself.

Take care!

Can you please describe how you fixed this issue? I am having the same problem.
