Can't cast spells

[sylverwolf]

EQEmu 0.6.1-DR1

Well not entirely accurate. I can cast on myself but when trying to cast on mobs either at a distance or while meleeing, I get "You cannot see your target". Even when using the #cast method. I explored nearly every populated zone and tried it on every mob type i can think of (including PoK hehe)

I thought someone may have seen this before but the only thing searching came up with is melee distance (which is something I learned to live with)

I'm still combing through the database and trying to assertain wether its a database problem or EQEmu problem. I'm using the database that was put up here:

So far, it's the only DB I can get to work with 6.1

I believe this is due to the maps folder needed in your eqemu folder , they have something to do with line of sight , I am using the same database and have maps folder loaded with the maps that you can download from sourceforge, everyzone works ok except for a zone (Nektropos) that I made by hand and have no map for , in that zone we get the problem you are describing

ok thanks. i'll give that a shot. i thought the map files were just for zoning points which i can deal with. and it is a LOS issue. i don't even have LOS on myself lol. i can buff myself but can't use any damaging spells on myself.

thanks again

so i save these files in my eqemu\maps folder? any special config?

I just downloaded them from sourceforge and unpacked them into the maps folder

Adding the maps to the map directory is what solved that problem for me. Took a few days to figure it out. happened to be watching the world.exe window one day and saw it say that I .map file was missing. went searching and found on sourceforge a 308mb file to add to the maps directory. That fixed my LOS problem, but I still get the occasional error saying that a .path file is missing not sure what they are or how to find them thou stilllooking for them.

I dont have any .map files at all. I cant seem to locate them on sorceforge with any search... could one of you please post the exact path or url please.
