Sleep/Sit (rest) needs a bit of fixing.

[willbonney]

Currently, when you sit (v) or sleep (b) for resting, you can rotate your character in a 360 degree rotation and look all around you. This isn't very practical, as normally when you sit, you have about 180 degree, maybe a little less, field of view. Having the 360 allows you to constantly be looking around you, and a "sneak" won't be able to creep up on someone sitting or sleeping, when they are supposed to be at their most vulnerable.

I would suggest not allowing camera rotation at all when sitting, and a "dimmed" view when sleeping i.e. the screen goes much darker, maybe not fully black, but definitely darker, when sleeping.

Think we already had a discussion about sneaking...

Hiding is highly dependant on the other player's perception. In general a player should only go partially invisible. This should allow a player to blend in better in the dark or when wearing armor that matches the surroundings.

The reason hiding makes you less visible is because this is a 3rd person game. We can't rely on the player being in 1st person view. I don't plan to ever make Xsyon an exclusively 1st person view game.

It's not "exclusively 1st person view" by taking away a persons ability to spin the camera....

I mean come on, just seeing the guy sit and spin grates on my nerves, cuz it looks like I'm on my top spinning away.

You don't need the "game in first person" to prevent camera rotation when you are sitting or laying down.

Upon playing, have found "being exhausted," as in, using up all of your energy so that your character starts "huffing and puffing" prevents you from being able to turn the camera. In my opinion, resting and sleeping should do the same thing.

I don't agree, resting (as in sitting) is boring enough, not being able to at least look around meanwhile would make it even worse. Sitting on the ground staring at one direction for minutes is everything but fun. The sitting character spinning around do look silly, so I guess we should only be able to move the camera around, not the character.

Also, another Tweek to rest/sleep. Need to make it so you cannot do either while in water. As it works right now, if you "sleep" in water, you will submerge underneath and be "invisible" to any others around.
