I've attached a map that produces this error. I'm all for more Navigation options being available. Also more access so we can do things like defining our own collision avoidance, or none at all. Not urgent, but something I'd really find useful. navmesh_glitch.zip

I can walk over it with character controller but, but AI will not path over it

Scarlet that's true when you factor in the Australia Tax. In America 400 could be right

There seems to be a problem that occurs sometimes in navmesh generation where a path is cut off when it should not be. I have attached three screenshots from the editor. To recreate, you can just add some obstacles and move them around until it occurs. It looks like it is related to the origin of the map (0,0) as can be seen in screenshot 3 This can be fixed by manually playing around in the editor and slightly moving the obstacle, however in something like a tower defence, where the player can place towers anywhere it will block the path, and break the game.

I don't think it's documented. I just guessed. I'm finding most things about the engine quite intuitive. Although initially I thought --out should have worked

This will work function Script:GetValue()--arg return self.thevalue end

Ok it was a gfx driver conflict. I wasn't running the debug build but and the lag would only occur in certain areas. It's all good now and it running very smooth, and I thought it was running fast before (not including lag.) Gfx card is also very low end

FIXED: gfx driver issue Consistent Lag greater than 5 seconds, sometimes much more in DA after passing through the gates (screenshot attached) This happened in the original Eval and the one uploaded toady Cheers EDIT: same issue happens when walking near the cart at the start of the level. Will lag for a couple of seconds and repeated entry results in longer lag spikes or lockout. If the movement keys are held down through the lag then player will fly through the air to catch up

Ohh it's at the bottom, very sneaky

Some of these might have been mentioned already: A filter / search input for the asset / scene browsers. You can select an object in the Scene browser and right click -> Go To : You should also be able to select an object in the 3d viewport and double click it to highlight in the scene browser. Rightclicking a node in the Flowgraph editor should bring up Go To Script option that has a drop down list of all attached scripts that will open in the script editor when selected. Ability to zoom in and out in the Flowgraph Editor and also put nodes into groups which just highlights them in a rectangle maybe with a label. Just small things that can greatly improve productivity by being intuitive.

Yea for sure, with such a powerful navigation system I just think being able to drill down a little bit will significantly improve the engines flexibility.

I think having more navigation info available to tweak would be an advantage in the future and definitely something I would be interested in. I understand that there is pathfinding and then collision avoidance, but being able to sesperate these will allow greater flexibility for different genres. An example could be an RTS that requires less precise and an expensive collision avoidance

I have a few questions regarding navigation. Is it possible to access a path from the navmesh and not use the inbuilt collision avoidance. This would be useful in some scenarios with lots of units and also some gametypes where collision avoidance between characters isn't required but navigation is.

Just some feedback from the eval on my PC. Runs pretty well but there are some big hangups and occasional crashes when running DA. After entering through the doors before goblins attack there is a big lag. Same lag happens in other areas randomly and occasional crash. I know these bugs will be fixed but just giving feedback. Pretty cool otherwise. Would like more info on navmesh generation and how it will deal with narrow paths like a small bridge that navmesh won't generate for.

Great wotk josh!

Im south australian (the best state)

Interesting discussion, does this mean for example that you could use the pathfinding and dynamic navmesh generation of Leadwerks3D in another engine?

I'm just excited to see what the capabilities of LE3 are, I have no intention of developing for mobile devices but I do want to play around with the dynamic nav mesh and pathfinding . With these low end graphics LE3 should run extremely well on pc shouldn't it? Iv'e always been one for gameplay over graphics any day.

ok I'll try that. I'll just add that with the shadows quality disabled this shadow acne does not occur at all. and the scene looks fine. Moving objects don't cast shadows but the level does. Is it strange that the same spot in a scene(with no moving objects to cast shadows) looks great with shadow quality disabled and gets the acne when shadow quality is on medium or high? The attatched pic is the same area with shadow quality disabled

Ok I'll try to make some of those changes. Changing the quality of the shadows to high does not make much difference. When I select disable the level looks much better and there's no graininess at all obviously because the shadows that are causing this aren't being rendered. What type of shadows does that shadow quality setting refer to? because spotlights and that still render and they look perfect EDIT: putting the shadow quality on low, makes a lower shadow quality however the graininess disappears.. on medium or High the graininess comes back, so I'll try and experiment. EDIT2: Ive tried shadowmap resolution, this helps to a certain degree, there's a small amount of fuzziness on the edges, which isn't too bad. The main problem can be seen in the attached picture. the grains that appear all over the walls when the texture quality is on medium or high. This doesn't happen on low or disabled.

Just a question regarding shadows in leadwerks. They seem very grainy in the tunnels test demo, and others, especially around the edges. Is this just how they are or am I missing something? Ive attached an image that shows what I'm talking about.
