Nextbot Navmesh - Melonade (Liminal Gallery)

A moderately handcrafted navmesh for Melonade


to test the navmesh, try using it with the drgbase nextbots:

or these advanced player nextbots:

Q/A

-Nav meshes are groups of squares placed across the map that contain information that nexbots use to see the map
Example #1 using nav_edit 1 on gm_liminal_gallery_2


Example #2 using nav_edit 1 on gm_liminal_gallery_2


Example #3 using nav_edit 1 on gm_fortbaxter

in order for any and all nextbots to work, you actually need to have a navmesh; you can create one by putting nav_generate into your console on any map, but this may take several minutes or even sometimes hours to fully generate depending on the size and complexity of the map.



-more advanced/ accurate mesh, meaning better navigation for nextbots; they're less likely to get stuck; but still possible :( .

-simple parkour that nav_generate will never create, which means guess who support and other human like nextbots

-increases the amount of hiding spots and encounter points, this improves nextbots like Gargitron.

-accommodation for nextbots separate from the 'png chasers', e.g 'crouching attribute' nodes, and other 'flags'

-nav meshes in places where the nav_generate command fails to create them.

- it takes way less time to download this, than to generate a new mesh.

- even scarier and more effective nextbots.



- in the one section where the room moves sideways and the door to the room with the hole is revealed, there is no navmesh; as source navmeshes can't be drastically changed at runtime.

- nextbots without the ability to check for transient nodes (png chasers) will think the ramp to the end is always there, as well as in other areas.

- nextbots will be completely unable to follow players to many areas of the map, as they can't use player teleporters. However Gargitron works completely fine!

- nextbots may phase through some props, this is normal, a lot of props on this map have no collisions.
