Duplicate and still a BYOND issue

there is a fix, just needs to be applied the code base.

TILE_BOUND

[Exxion]

We already did that
SEE_PIXELS overrides TILE_BOUND

[9600bauds]

so how do we fix it

[Exxion]

By complaining at Lummox
Judging by that forum post, this isn't intended behavior, so that will probably work

EDIT: Hi! I'm a blind idiot.
Fuck
Guess we don't, then.

[clusterfack]

We go back to the old non SEE_PIXELS

[9600bauds]

What's SEE_PIXELS for anyways?

[clusterfack]

SEE_PIXELS is useful because it draws a barrier at plane 0, hiding everything below plane 0 on tiles you can't see with Byond style darkness. We can't create byond style darkness ourselves as we can't prevent click behavior we can only emulate it.

I used it while optimizing parallax so I wouldn't need another plane master for space to blend multiply away nonvisible turfs or some shit. But looks like we'll end up using that system since SEE_PIXELs is just unworkable.

[clusterfack]

I thought SEE_PIXELS would be workable initially because the way it was originally let you click darkness (which turned out to be a bug that allowed other things, and was eventually fixed removing that functionality), and because I considered it overriding TILE_BOUND to be a bug.

But both of those issues will be intractable with the current design decisions in the Byond engine so we wont be using SEE_PIXELs anymore, using the older system will remove those bugs, probably, I didn't test it out too much.

[Shadowmech88]

Does Lummox not want to fix SEE_PIXELS?

[ComicIronic]

There's no "fix" involved- it's considered correct behaviour.
