Descriptive Problem Summary:
I am using a /area based lighting system in my game with SIDE_MAP enabled. In order for the areas doing the lighting effects to look right I set the pixel_z for those areas to be 32.

However, this illusion breaks apart when a tile with an obscuring area effect is not visible (due to being blocked by an opacity = 1 object). Setting SEE_PIXELS on the mob sight does not fix this as one would expect.

Expected Results:
Setting SEE_PIXELS would cause the part of the area lifted into the visible tile to be seen.

Actual Results:
The area is not seen at all.

Does the problem occur:
Always.

When does the problem NOT occur?
This is always a problem.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
No.

Workarounds:
Adding a SEE_AREAS to mob.sight would be a convenient workaround.
