No tile constrained movement implementation

[Gryffian]

Would it take much effort to allow free character movement in TFS + OTClient, not tied to tiles like it is now?

Hello Let me show you another tibia project. In this time, i'm developing this game using tibia contents (sprites). And no, im not using unity. this video show the initial movement and the creature IA.

Not much, did you think about downsides tho?
Right now one directional key press = 1 packet, with free movement it will move by 1 unit (to make the movement smooth), lets say 1 tile = 32 units. That's 32 packets just to move through a tile. Then there are animations that will look really clunky with such movement. Also onStepIn/Out will need rework because if a tile is on pos 128, 128, 7, then to check onStep you would have to check if player is within range (128, 128, 7 to 128 + 32, 128 + 32, 7).

I thought it might need more bandwith and computing. Animations wise I can see it being alright though. Some tweaking should be plenty.
I'd love to try tinkering with it. God, it's been years since I last touched c++ code, including tfs.
