Nextbot Navmesh - gm_abandoned_mall

An improved navmesh for abandoned mall

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

The creators of the maps can add my created navmeshes to their map if, and whenever they want.

Q/A

What is a nav mesh?

-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.

Why would I want to install this, instead of using the navmesh the map comes with?

-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.

Feel free to comment if you find any bug/ glitches, these are some I am aware of:

• '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.
