I would argue that 22 units per foot (per the fMagicUnitsPerFoot setting) is | I would argue that 22 units per foot (per the fMagicUnitsPerFoot setting) is a more valid number than 21.33. If a scale of 1.0 at 128 units is considered to be the average height of NPCs, here are some numbers to consider: | ||
