Fairly certain this is a bug. No, you can't walk through it, can't go diagonal.

[Cosmonot]

It may be aesthetically unpleasant, but it's not a bug.

[Squeegy]

It's not a bug that the intersections are connected by a millimeter and you can see through them?

That's some pretty fucking weird building design, then.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Where are you? There are some really weird things going on with that map. Are you in a safehouse that has been raided by tanks or burned by fire?

[mainiac]

Corners like that are pretty common.  They show up all over.  Surprised you haven't seen one yet.

You can see through walls if they're only one tile thick. Why are you concerned that you can see through cracks?

On the subject of map bugs, I've seen "exit" tiles past the walls in several buildings (I think CEO residence for one).  They're on the south side of the map opposite of the entrance, and despite there being a wall there, they are visible but not accessible.

Never. Or rather, the only time I've ever seen that before is when I've butchered the site generation code (that happened awhile back, and was a pain to fix), or when a tank or molotov has started doing damage to a building -- but in those cases, there's supposed to be rubble left behind. I've seen probably hundreds of maps across the many versions.

You can't see through walls, but you can remember what you've seen in the past or that you have mapped out in advance. If you're seeing through walls to unexplored areas, and you aren't in your own safe house or a place you otherwise have mapped (by picking option E at character creation, or by having a sleeper or other source of info on the site), then it's a bug.

Let me clarify my comment.  Corners like that are fairly common in the latest version.  My last game had them in like a quarter of the sites I visited.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

I guess I must have just not played much since breaking it; been mostly working on AI for classes, separate from LCS.

[Squeegy]

It was in the CEO Residence.

Saw exits past the wall, with enemies, when being raided in the second safehouse.

[penguinofhonor]

Yeah, I get these all the time too.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

The exits past the wall, I know why that's happening. I've been mulling over how to fix it since moving to the longer view range.

[beorn080]

Increase the thickness of the outer walls by one. It would make sense since most non structural interior walls are thinner then the exterior walls.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

The problem is specifically that you're wrapping around to see the top of the map, and the entrance. Pulling the walkable area in a tile would work, and so would expanding the map, assuming the mapping algorithm isn't set to draw to the map size minus one, which is probably is. Map size minus two would work fine. Or, I could just make it so that it doesn't wrap around, and just displays black.

Similar issue is that there are walls around the exit tiles. You see them only if you have the place pre-mapped, but ideally those wouldn't be there anyway.
