I noticed something odd while working on the ChatRelayBot's distance-relay mode -- it seems that the chat range is not absolutely 200m, but now is around 204.8m.

==============================================
OutOfRange(Tony M, [evilbot])
OutOfRange: XZDist = 20476.8268293698
OutOfRange: YDist = 2378
OutOfRange: return true
==============================================

And yet, the browser still shows [evilbot] and I now receive double messages -- evilbot's real chat, and the CRB console msg.

With precise movement on, I take one tinystep back to 204.86m; I'm now considered out of evilbot's range by the browser/worldserver.

==============================================
OutOfRange(Tony M, [evilbot])
OutOfRange: XZDist = 20486.5896869147
OutOfRange: YDist = 2378
OutOfRange: return true
==============================================

Did I make a mistake assuming it was flat 200m? Could anybody with a pre-3.4 worldserver try to test this?

This cannot be due to having Public Speaker rights; I removed everybody from PS during those two tests. Results were the same even while wearing PS.

It has to do with the weather conditions.

A 200m cube...

So 100m NSEW +-Y... at the extent (a vertex) the chat range is the largest..
its only 200m directly for say 0n 0w and 20n 0w...

No, it's a 400m cube.
That's 200m into all directions.

No, it's centered at the subject's location.

True :)

My mistake, I had just been adding a feature to limit it to a diff size on
Zeus.
