Nextbot Navmesh - gm_abandoned_mall

An improved navmesh for abandoned mall

to test the navmesh try using it with the drgbase nextbot mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1560118657 or these advanced player nextbots: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2148063174


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 :( .

-better guess who support!

-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 parkour

-nav meshes in places where the orginal navmesh failed to create any, on this map I have added some outside the bounds of the map (Not sure when you would use them but, still)

-even scarier and more effective nextbots.


- 'png chaser' nextbots may sometimes stop chasing and hide, i'd have a hard time changing this, this is due to the open areas, and places where line of sight to the player will be obscured very briefly; leading to the nextbots running to hiding spots.


And in case you like this navmesh:
