Zombie nav files [100% Complete]

[ZERO]

While bots do work on all the maps that have bots on them they often get stuck and do not work very well. The reason for this is due to problems with the navigation files on the maps not covering the entire map. This problem could be solved by creating fully custom navigation meshes for each map using the instructions here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/...igation_Meshes

Below is a list of maps that have bots on them:

• ze_blackmesa_escape_final
• ze_death_star_escape_v4_3_z
• ze_electrical_factory_v1
• ze_elevator_escape_jbg_final
• ze_Flying_World_v1_2
• ze_gods_wrath_v3_8b
• ze_icecap_escape_v5
• ze_Jurassic_Park_Story_v1 -your going to want a supercomputer to compile this...
• ze_mirrors_edge_reborn_v4_2
• ze_Parking_v2a
• ze_rooftop_runaway2_v4
• ze_showdown_v4_1
  
• ze_shroomforest_v4_5

A few of these maps might work 100% fine right now but the majority of these need to have custom meshes created for them. A lot of the ze maps have teleporters so it is not a huge problem trying to connect areas if the bots can not figure it out. Generally though if the nav areas are connected in 1 way it will force the bots to continue to advance and not go back the way they came. You can use this to corrall them into a teleporter. The issue is anything that a bot needs to press a button to trigger. For those areas the bots are not going to advance without being teleported. Most maps teleport players at particualr points so this is not an issue as the bots will be teleported into another area where we have a nav mesh and continue to advance. This is an issue on maps that do not have teleporters. So for those maps I need to know the name of the map, the location of where the bots get stuck and how long befroe they should be teleported past. Then I could create a mod that creates and AOE trigger at these map locations to teleport the bots past after X time so they can still progress across the map.

If anyone wants to work on creating custom nav meshes for any of these maps it would be a huge help and time saver. To test the meshes you can easily create a local game on your system with bots on the map, just set them to knife only and try to have them follow you. The bots can not leave the area defined in the nav mesh so you can easily see if something is missing or not connected.

**********************************HOW TO*********************************

Simply create a server deticated or inagme so you can load up the map. If this is your first time loading the map enter bot_quota 1 so it will generate a nav mesh to start with. Then just join spectate and it is time to start making the mesh bigger.

You need the following commands:
sv_cheats 1 -allows you to edit the mesh
nav_edit 1 -enable editing
nav_mark_walkable -this marks an area the bot can walk on, you should bind this to something
nav_build_ladder -just pint at ladder and run this command to make a ladder, you should bind this to something
nav_generate_incremental -this will generate the new mesh, you should bind this to something. If you have used nav_build_ladder but not nav_mark_walkable this command will not run. So just use nav_mark_walkable somewhere so it will run if your only adding ladders.
nav_select_invalid_areas -this clears your selection of the newly added mesh areas after running nav_generate_incremental, you should bind this to something.

After running nav_generate_incremental it can take a LONG time to process and is dependent on your computers speed. You game may say it is timing out, this is normal do not try to exit the program just keep it running and it will finish eventually. After running nav_select_invalid_areas after nav_generate_incremental runs you should consider the nav file completed in its current forum. You can backup this file ect at this time without exiting the game. BTW the files are located in "Steam\SteamApps\common\Counter-Strike Source\cstrike\maps"

You can test your finished nav file with a bot. Yea they are still going to be glitchy. It is important that the areas are connected, you will see the number of connections when your in the edit mode. IF an area has no connections there is no way to get out of it. It is possible to make 1 way connections to fine tune things like elevators and teleport things or to force a bot to continue to advance. Please reference the valve command guide for how to do this.
