Navmesh Live!

Akkadius · May 7, 2018

PEQ now has Navmesh pathing Live from Classic expansion all the way through PoP.

Pathing behavior should be far more intelligent, NPC's will round corners, go up stairs, go through a door versus making a straight line path to the player.

Imagine the NPC is now aware of the terrain, it will use the terrain tiles to make decisions on the shortest path to its destination (the player or target it is engaged to)

Navigation mesh technology is used in most modern game engines, KLS has put in significant time to put this together and its been a long time coming.

PEQ is the first server to see this and it is now live through OOW zones!

We anticipate a few edge case issues here and there that we will have to work through, but for the most part it should be a very noticeable improvement to pathing, if anyone notices issues - PLEASE post them in this thread!

Thanks and enjoy!

Not sure if this is a result of navmesh as I haven't spent a ton of time in yxxta but the mobs are getting stuck inside rocks as they try to follow you.

That's probably a door.

Not sure if this is Navmesh, but I am having mobs stick in tables in BoT since it was implemented.

Also in BoT (Lightning tower), when pulling a mob around the circular path and you go out of LoS, the mob falls under for a long time. I kept killing through after a minute or so waiting and it popped back up after 8 mobs.

Thanks guys for reporting issues - please continue reporting issues you find with videos preferably - at the very least screenshots.

It helps us determine what kind of problem it is and how we need to address it.

It may take a bit with busy schedules but we are adjusting individual zones for some of them - others are a more generalized problem that can be solved in our backend implementation

I have noticed after this went live that mobs following during a pull will warp to the puller if the puller gets too close to certain geometry. Tables in bot, torches in barindu, walls in poi are the places I've noticed.

Spirit of Garudon pathing under its spawn in Veksar. I thought this may be related to pathing changes.
