Re-hiding without HIPS?

Is there any way of re-hiding without HIPS?
I thought that you used to be able to run around a corner or something and as soon as the enemy lost their line of sight to you, you used to be able to re-hide.
Is that still in, is it lag that is stopping this, did the devs nerf this too, or was that ever poissible?

The way hide works if u leave the creatures field of view you should be able to hide again.. of course the problem may be the same as wqhen u intially cast invisibility the creatures already have u targeted so they keep targeting you for a short while, Dont know..

Could also be because of listen. I freqently see targets thru doors and around corners b/c i train listen, and so maybe it counts you as a visible target even if you're not in line of sight.

Well those two comments make sense.
I could definitely see the listen ability part, Listen even reveals people with invisibility on, allows you to attack them, but they still get 50% conceal, i think...

It still works, my monk used to re-hide like that alot before she got HIPS.
The monk runspeed makes it really easy to get behind a corner and not be seen anymore, which makes HIPS a nice to have feat but nothing more. I'm taking SD prc to get the reqs for epic dodge in fact.

No it doesn't. You are the 100000th person in the history of NWN who thinks listen is all-mighty. It lets you detect people in stealth mode in your line of sight. That is ALL. It doesn't let you detect invisible. It doesn't let you see through walls. Characters with 0 listen can sometimes see through doors and you see invisible because you have ranged weapon equipped. The bow bug will be fixed in 1.64, the result will be that all the archers won't be able to see invis ppl any more like they did.
