found a bug.
not a normal one in the way the game gives a report to copy though.
when playing with the knew sight range, i found out a few things, let
me know if there supposed to be there or not.
1 footstep sounds no longer play for enemy movement when you cant see
them, the previous version they did with fog now they don't.
2 even with noflying long range movement skills can still go over the
tile with no_flying, can you make it where the cant since they cant
normaly go on to that tile? i ask because i have a space jump but its
not teleportation just a faster way to get somewhere with less
resources.
3 the main problem i'm facing is that when its the enemy turn, and
theres a good number of enemies, because the footsteps don't play and
i cant see them eighther from sight range or fog, the game freezes,
and at first i wasn't sure if it was because the enemy was taking a
long time and being silent, but i waited like ten minutes, soso i
tried another map, and the same thing happened.
this again is using sight range limits on the wall terrain, using fog
and walls are no flying.
hope you can fix this, and as theres nothing to paste down you'll have
to play with it to figure it out probably.
