Party formation: is it me?

Post by artaxerxes »

Hi

is it me or the newly implemented party formation by DrCode speeds up the game big time ?
It's flashingly fast!

Maybe because the party NPCs, instead of pathfinding to follow the avatar, use a different method.

Yes, Nadir is correct. And even if an NPC gets blocked, the pathfinder isn't called until you stop.

Maybe 'formation-walking' should be the default now. It's pretty-much done, and is a lot easier to debug than the older method.
