I'd rather it were just left as it is. Someone sneaking around should make emotes casually perhaps when they enter and leave the 'mode' but outside of that I think it works just fine and as well as possible in a computer game.

Problem is if you're stealthing around, you're likely to busy scanning your entire screen for trouble to have the time to emote that sort of stuff.

"On sneaking..."

That is what you are referring to, I believe. And yes, one can stand in a crowd in stealth without having to emote. If you try to talk with someone and he doesn't respond, he likely attempts to stealth.

Ah, Thank You Talir.

Well, there is some kind of hook to the stealth command AFAIK, even if it is not scripted per se. In one of the OC's (HotU i think?) when you stealthed your familiar or animal companion would stealth with you, even if they were nowhere in perception range of you. I once thought stealth was hardcoded to fire off a silent 'go stealthy' voicecommand, but I've since thrown that out the window after testing and trying to duplicate that.

The problem is finding the particular event it triggers. Tbh I have never really enthusiastically searched and tried to narrow this down, but I'm 90% sure this is possible to do. But like so many other things that get suggested, finding this particular event and then actually making use of it would be a crazy amount of work. Even if it did work, imo there is really no VFX they could apply that is appropriate for 'stealth'.

alright i guess this mostly affects elves so hows this then, in many cases skub will miss an elf that is simply "walking" elves having no detect mode have to use their stealth version just to walk when they arnt trying to be all stealthy, perhaps a simple token to toggle a speed reduction for elves to be able to walk around normally, i understand elves are naturally stealthy but being naturally stealthy doesnt meen they cant walk around normally  

The best way to deal with this is to map your "S" key to the "Walk" action, and either your "Z" or "X" key to "Reverse." If you need to move with the mouse, Shift+Click will cause you to walk instead of run.
