Just an idea that I have been pondering, I think it was brought up on the old boards...
If a thief is completely hidden in the shadows for at least 30 seconds, and also does not have a weapon ready or has used the frob button, he becomes intangilbe to guards/ai. This would seriously nerf shadowslashing/running, and enforce flarescanning. Noise may also be considered as a factor in this.
So, basically, a thief not doing anything but moving around in the shadows is safe until he does something or is tagged. We sort of have an admin command that does this (ghost) except the part about flying and going through walls can't be used.
Guards chasing after discovered thieves won't have to worry about this unless the thief has been moving in complete shadow for half a minute, which by then is too late for the guards anyways. And guards thinking they are safe in an area because they shadowslahed/ran through it, will learn to fear the shadows; however the thief that wants to use the BJ better be sure they score true, because as soon as the BJ is readied, their protection goes away. Think of this as the ultimate ZEN for ghosters.
Any thoughts?
