Animating client pixel offsets resulted in the client's pixel offsets reverting to 0 on the server after the animation ended. This resulted in bad behavior for turf visibility, as well as jerky animations the next time the pixel offsets were changed.

Descriptive Problem Summary:

The beta has indeed killed the client's eye pixel locations as it seems to move and then revert back to the center of the mob.

The code below is what I use for paradoxus for the sights for the weapons and to set the direction the mob's pointing towards when the player moves/attacks.

The size of the icons being 8x8

proc
        FaceDirection(D=2)
            if(client && facedir!=D)
                facedir = D
                var V = 8
                if("Scout" in perks)
                    V = 16
                if(weapon == primary)
                    switch(attachment)
                        if("Red Dot Sight") {V += 4}
                        if("ACOG")          {V += 8}
                        if("x4 Scope")      {V += 12}
                switch(D)
                    if(1){animate(client, pixel_x = 0, pixel_y = V, time = 2.5)}
                    if(2){animate(client, pixel_x = 0, pixel_y = -V, time = 2.5)}
                    if(4){animate(client, pixel_x = V, pixel_y = 0, time = 2.5)}
                    if(8){animate(client, pixel_x = -V, pixel_y = 0, time = 2.5)}
