Nextbot Navmesh - gm_70s_pool_Abandoned

A mostly handcrafted navmesh for gm_70s_pool_Abandoned


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. (these guys may not work as well on this map, there's alot of geometry that's not ai-friendly)

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 :( .

-more optimized mesh than nav_generate.

-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 nav_generate command fails to create them.

-downloading this will save the nav mesh, instead of having to recreate it every time you load a new game (nav_save for anyone who wants to save a nav_generated nav mesh, this saves the nav file to the garrysmod maps folder), and it takes way less time to download this than to generate a new mesh.

-even scarier and more effective nextbots.



- most nextbots will find it very hard to not get stuck on this map ( i'm actually not sure why i chose to do this map; i suppose for the challenge)

- the crawl space in the elevator can't be used by players anyway, so most nextbots will find it hard to use it.

- some areas require opeing doors in a sort of puzzle way; the nextbots are dumb; they won't be able to figure out how to open the doors in the right order

- there are plenty more bugs, so beware!
