Greetings Fellow ServUO-ians,

So, we've been seeing this quite a bit. It seems I have to be standing damn near on top of a container to open it. I remember on live, I had a 6x6 storage room, and I could stand in the middle and organize it, with the ability to reach all of the containers. I created the same layout on my private server, and I can reach three of the columns of chests if I am standing directly next to the middle one, but everything else is "I can't reach that".

This has also become a problem when out hunting... sometimes a mob will die in a tree and I start walking around the base of the tree mashing the last object macro until it opens up. Most of the time "I can't reach that" but sometimes "I can't see that"... the sight thing I understand, but the single tile distance is getting annoying.

Is there some way to increase the reach distance?

Thanks a ton!
 
You can modify this code, but you wil need to recompile your server exe;

THANK YOU! Awesome... just awesome.

One more...

So I can open the containers from a little farther away, however, moving things in the containers it says "That is too far away". I looked through the containers.cs, but couldn't find anywhere that used that wording. Any suggestions?

And thanks again for getting me this far. You made my day!
 
There are similar methods in Mobile.cs that do range checks, but it really is quite convoluted :(

There are probably more in Item.cs - I found them by searching the file for ", 2" (no quotes)

WOW! You aren't kidding... thanks to you I just discovered that Notepad++ can search a whole bank of files for keywords... yeah I'm a newbie... found at least 30 places that will need to be changed... just not sure if I should change em and risk mucking something up... or live with it.

hehe
