Re: Pathfinding

Baldurs Gates pathfinding certainly did have comedy value. "Oh dear, I can't get through that door as someones standing in it for a second, so I'll go round, via switzerland.". Being able to choose how oftern the pathfinding updates isn't a bad idea though. I don't really have anything to ...

Re: Pathfinding

But the pathfinding algorithm is not the same as in the originals I'd guess? It seems like the pathfinding chooses to walk to where its target is, then once it gets there looks again - by which time the target is half way across the screen. This leads to enemies running past you as you both meet, an...

Re: Pathfinding

I remember the pathfinding in the originals being better (although my memory may be blurred by time and drink and wishful thinking), I partic...

Pathfinding

Sorry, I'm a great fan of Exult, and of the astounding acomplishment of this project over the years - but there is one thing that really does let it down. The pathfinding is atrocious! I was playing Serpent Isle a moment ago and ran into some goblins. Two of my party decided to very slowly chase a g...

Re: [OT] ES4:Oblivion, new "Ultima 7"?

So, I take it you don't like first person? Yeah, Oblivion could always turn out to be a big pile of turd, but early signs are promising. They are attempting to build on Morrowinds strengths whilst trying to fix some of the flaws. They might cock it up, but then again they might not. "- first pe...
