To determine if an object should be renderered, you would simply check (atom.visiblity & mob.can_see) == atom.visiblity
By default atom/visibility (or whatever it is named) would be 0, but by adjusting the value together with can_see on certain mobs you could achieve a variety of affects with what different players can and cannot see, much more versatile than the current invisibility setting
This shouldent be very hard to add either, just another dword on appearance and camera info + an extra check on rendering

Please no lists
This would work as some form of visibility groups, but lists would simply be too slow to use | |
Lists don't have to be slow. Any internal implementation could make sure the client has the information it needs to decide if an object should be shown. Anything you implement now has to decide on the server and update things accordingly.

There should honestly be a better visibility system altogether; one that doesn't use numbers but works with lists some how. Much like the images list. It's indeed in need of an overhaul. I think the developers are just waiting either for a good suggestion on how to treat it, or an opportunity to have time to put into it.
Either way, Forum_Account's visibility groups is a pretty good start for the developers to look at.
