What are the conditions for a overlapping to be insignificant? I've seen shops getting overlapped in FM but they haven't gotten removed. Would like some clarification on that.
There isn't an exception. The GMs may have just not gotten there yet or not noticed it as they passed through.
doesnt really matter lol. no one really cares if a fm 10 store is overlapping a little. can always ~gm if your store is being blocked
I generally don't close stores that are slightly overlapping IF there is enough space either side for BOTH owners to reopen. I'm not sure how @Tim does them however.
Hi guys, the cute green mamba is here to reply as well! Whenever I check for merchant overlaps I take a lot of things in consideration; just like Stan I'll take a good look whether the both of them could possibly reopen, what merchant they use as some appear bigger than they are and who was there first of course! After that I take a deep breath and think about what the most logical thing to do is.. And then I realise I'm not a cute green mamba at all!
No THIS is an answer @yellowblue: Thanks for the responses guys. Edit: And @Dimitri what do you mean by that they appear bigger than they are?
An example would be that a Mushroom House looks bigger than a Robotic Stand, even though both take the same amount of space when it comes to whether you can open next to it or not. It just makes it look like the merchants are really close to each other when they're not.
PaoPao and Elint's merchants - This is what I consider overlapping for sure and I won't hesitate to close the one that opened later according to the merchtimer: https://i.gyazo.com/ba008042614dd37756171fc6a227488f.png Affability and iamrequim's merchants - This is where things get tricky for example, if I were to close one of them there might be space for someone to re-open after all. Merchants like the Mushroom one can touch eachother slightly because the hitbox rectangle for them are slightly smaller than the image of the whole mushroom hat if you know what I mean. https://i.gyazo.com/65a4a537330562eec70a8bb0a4523a2c.png
I don't know how the middle row ended up in the first SS but did they get to reopen? I see plenty of space to the left side question is wether it's possible. And on your second SS, correct me if I am wrong, the hitbox is not what decides if you can enter the store or not. Because if you click the very edge of the mushroom hat you can still get inside it. Actually you can also enter it by clicking the alpha areas above the edges and enter as long as it doesn't exceed the maximum height of the model.
I don't have a screenshot of closing either of them so I think I left them open yeah. Not because of all the space to the left of them but because they could probably re-open on exactly the same spot due to merchant hitboxes.
You should be able to figure that out if you messed around with opening merchants in tight spots next to your friends or something for a bit.
