Guide - Your halfling can't look over the grass or reach the banker. /autosize to the rescue

[eqholic]

Ok guide might be an exaggeration, but here we go. I was always annoyed by the bad visibility that small races provide in 1st person view and just found out that the plugin mq2autosize can do more than what is described in the manual on our site, namely resize your own toon.
So: /autosize sizeself 6 (approx. Vah Shir) or whatever you like.

Does this help one jump up stairs in Kael and other places where the steps are too damn large for small sizes?

Updated our plugin information to match the plugin source. All commands and settings are there now.

If you can't see over something and can't initiate an action with it - a CLIENT side only change isn't going to fix that.

Example, if you're a gnome or a halfling and a hill is blocking your site, resizing your character (client side) won't let you cast on the enemy because you'll still be the same height on the server. Same goes for an NPC out of your line of sight. If you're too short to make the line of sight connection to them (server side) it won't let the command go through.

Correct? If I'm wrong this would be extremely useful for my halflings/gnomes when it comes to pulling. Small bumps/humps block their LoS constantly when trying to cast on a mob.

If I am correct, am I missing the point entirely to this? I could picture this being useful for people who only play first person and that's about it if this is a client side thingy.

I didn't test it yet in detail on obstacles or for pulling, but I do enjoy the better view for navigating as I play in 1st person view a lot.

I went and did a little test with a banker. With autosize off I run my gnome very close to the desk so that I couldn't see the banker and ofc I was unable to target and interact with him. Then I activated autosize and grew myself and was able to target and interact with him.
