here's an idea why not make it like extinction has it if you go out of the zone your suppose it instant kills ya any chance you could do that with this mod make it to where if they try to go under mesh it instant kills them

ok thank you for the reply and trying your best to sort out the exploit.

(2/2) The issue isn't that meshing cannot be fixed, the issue is that all the ways to fix it are far too intensive to make sense. Then if you take into account how this would need to work on all maps including those like Aberration which is intended to be "under mesh" we run into myriad more issues with a blanket fix. There's a lot of damn good reasons why WC themselves haven't fixed this issue and the main one is that the fix breaks the game more than the exploit as far as I can tell. I'll keep on working on it but as for a working resolution the best I can offer is good server admins/moderation and the banning of those that exploit. Don't not launch a server, just ban the ones that exploit :)

@extreme_gamer (1/2) Honestly I don't think this mod will ever be ready for release. There are too many variables to account for with the meshing exploit. Currently the mod searches constantly for any structures which are under the mesh, it does some rudimentary checks to see if the structure is in a cave/boss arena and if not destroys it. This process alone is enough to bog down a server to the point of server unplayability. I was also experimenmting with a player buff which performs the same checks on the player and if they are under the mesh it teleports them above the ground, again these checks are expensive to performance.

how are you getting on with this mod? i was thinking of releasing a new pvp server but i have been stopped in my tracks with this meshing exploit.
