Awesome, one step closer to having peds in!

[quechus13]

AMAZING!!!

 

I will finally have more intelligent peds for my movies now LOL

Awesome, one step closer to having peds in!

Yes, i think navmesh researching should be most important now.

[Chipsman]

It is just a viewer,

the file format is quite complicated, so it is too soon to talk about editing/creating custom navmesh models..

[_CP_]

So this show, where ped can move?

[EncryptedReality]

It shows the existing navmeshes, so yes technically , navmeshes define the border where A.I is allowed to go/take step in... and it makes it more intelligent in world space navigation, during this it prevents peds from walking into walls and running in circles(as it occured in SA)

[EncryptedReality]

The best example i can think of is: get a wanted level and stay inside the safehouse, you will eventually see police coming through your door tryin to arrest you

 

This means obviously that there must be some directions the peds follow in order to get to a destination, which is ~ navmeshes

Not only do navmeshes store these walls/barricades for them but also there must be certain flags that spawns vastly depend on

 

You may say , it's a spline like car paths, but not quite , they wouldn't respond to the environment so intelligently if it were so

[_CP_]

You both have right. Navmesh mean navigate mesh and describe, where ped can go, do something etc, right?

[lpgunit]

So, navmeshes are an advancement over the ped splines in the previous games? If so then this explains why they can follow you better.

Development news:

I've just resolve this case 0000107: [openFormats (global)] Improve OpenIV Resource sub-system and fix grmModel data

This is means I have rewrite a some part of our resources system and remove some excess data from models resources classes.

Probable it will fix disappearing of models in global mods.

• OpenIV SCO Decompiler can't decompile any scripts which made with Alex's Scocl compiler.

Just FYI, IV:SA's startup script has been made using SCO ToolBox, since SCOCL didn't exist yet.

[GooD-NTS]

Warning: Because of sort of changes, new OpenIV will not compatible with old openFormats ODR/ODD files, be ready for it.

 

Blaster_nl, GTARandom I've just say "probable", I'm can't be sure will it fix error or not. We need make big testing.

Which means that we'll have to wait for 3Doomer to make an update for his toolset.

[GooD-NTS]

Here is thing:

At the current time is no way to control compression and MipMap levels for WDR embedded textures. (Really you can control it if you are uses DDS textures).

Now I thinking about one thing which make possible to control those params.

Here is the question:

Do you think it is really needed for controlling compression and MipMap levels for WDR embedded textures?

Please vote.

The problem was in yesterday build (31.03.2012, build 297), and it resolved in todays "Hot-fix" build (01.04.2012, build 298).

Make sure you are uses lasted OpenIV and GIMS builds.

Yes, but if someone fully researches the audio format and the metadata, we'll be able to change our plans.
