What's the metric for projectile distance calculations? Spherical sqrt(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2), "walking plus up/down" (in which case it's a square dipyramid wider than it is tall), "compass directions plus up/down" (octahedron), diagonal up/down included (cube)?

I know that a spherical (well, circular, but the circle is also smaller in the sky above you, so probably spherical-ish) metric is used for vision in adventure mode.

I think I heard that the metric for noise bothering dwarves was a cube.
