Searching For Everyone

Post by Shayloh » Sun Oct 30, 2011 9:12 pm

After successfully searching for a hidden passage, that path remains visible to you until there is a reset. However, it seems that found paths are visible to everyone, even though they weren't present when the path was found.

This can be recreated by going someplace with a hidden entrance, Golden Oak being a good place, and searching until you uncover a path. Then simply quit and come back as a different character. The path will still be visible.

To anyone who might know: Is there any good fix for this? Is it a matter of missing area resets for those exits, perhaps? (It would make sense for them to reset to hidden when the area does, is that possible to make happen with a reset?)

I do not believe that it is an area code issue because door resets only deal with if the door is closed (or open) or locked (or unlocked), not if it is hidden or not. Perhaps this is a hard code issue.
