It's half way between the two now, so should be a bit easier to it than it was this morning, but hopefully still stops people doing strange sideways hits. It's strange that people are saying the range seemed shorter, as it was only the width of the sword I changed (from 2 tiles to 1 tile, and now to 1.5 tiles), and not the range (which is 2 tiles, but I think should be 2.5 tiles to be more like the built in hit detection).

I'm also going to take a look at the recoil timings and such too to see if I can make combo's a little more natural to perform.

As always, feedback, comments and suggestions on the changes are not only welcome, but greatly appreciated.

Whilst it's not impossible to use the built in hit detection, when you have a wealth of scripts relying on the custom one, switching back is not a realistic decision to make. A custom hit detection also allows for a number of improvements to be made (such as guild alliances, and better hack prevention), and so it's a lot better to try and improve the custom one as much as possible.

The built in hit detection is done clientside, whereas most custom systems do the detection at the server. Because this changes the way in which lag affects things, a perfect emulation (in terms of the hitboxes and such) is not necessarily going to feel right for the players. That said, I don't think that having such information would be a bad thing.
