Monster Chase Range

[Fou-lu]

Please someone could point me to what part of the source can I modify it so that the monster can chase a player all over the map and not only when it is on the screen?

 

 

Even though putting the value "1000" on the monster's ChaseRange on mob_db.conf it still does not chase the player away.

There's no mob_db.conf in rAthena. If you are using Hercules, you better ask at herc.ws.

Generally, you can't make monsters chase you for that far, because calculating the walkpath at that length has a too high complexity which the client won't handle. You'll have to rewrite a lot of the movement code to somehow emulate longer chase paths (turning them into many shorter paths with waypoints).

Some things you can do that could help you server-side are disabling OFFICIAL_WALKPATH (that limits complex walkpaths to 14 cells) and raising range3 in mob_db. Not sure how the client will behave here, though.

Did not work. =/

 

I'm using hercules emulator...

 

What amazes me is that I have an old emulator that works, just put the value "1000" in the monster's ChaseRange.
