attack over lake bug

[bummer]

Versions
ManaPlus 1.4.7.19 OpenBSD SDL1.2

Bug Description
I stay at Woodland (010-1) by the lake (112, 36). Mauve Plant is at (119, 36). Coordinates are approximate, +-1, but distance is obviously high to attack. I hold a dagger, I don't have any other weapons. I right-click on plant and choose attack in menu.

Actual Behavior
I successfully attack over lake, and Mauve Herb is dropped.

Expected Behavior
My hero just aims. Nothing should happen to the plant.

perhaps someone else off-screen killed the mob. it could also be a sync problem between your client-side position and server-side position

i don't think so: i picked the dropping up in a few seconds, and as i believe it is only available to the one who killed.

it could also be a sync problem between your client-side position and server-side position

this is likely. i see a monster position is out of sync very often. it is corrected only when i manage to attack a monster. the ping is 160 ms, yet i can't certainly say if a nearby monster is really near or far away, until i try to hit it.

enable this and it should fix the sync problem

thank you.

also it is slow box and old version. i have just tested windows 7, manaplus 1.5.1.31 and there is no such thing. i think my report is irrelevant

All reports are useful, thanks for your time

not to say that it fixes, but it significantly improves situation. i also set server-side position. lags are rare now!

so many knobs in setting, it's easy to get lost.
