Navmeshes created by Eternium and RGreenlees

Making your own navmeshes

Download the following files into one folder (from this repo) DroidSans.ttf GoldSrcNavEditor.exe navtool.cfg SDL2.dll

Move a BSP file that you want to edit into the same folder

Run GoldSrcNavEditor.exe

Click input, choose map (select your bsp file)

Click build at the bottom right, wait for it to build the blue navmesh

Click Save and export (always both of these), the .bin file is only usable by the editor and the .nav file is only usable by the addon, always keep both so you can iterate on your navmesh

Hold right click and use WASD to move around in the 3d space, find areas that are vents and link them using off-mesh links Add a WALL CLIMB for skulks to climb a wall up and a DROP for skulks or others to drop out of the vents

for example on ns_eclipse the railings in marine start are considered transparent in the editor This means that the AI will try to walk through them (unsuccessfully) use the Edit Map Collision with SOLID SURFACE to change these into solid walls

some areas will also show solid when they shouldnt be like Vines or Bushes that players can actually walk through, change these to ILLUSIONARY

Ensure you change the walls where ladders are to LADDER and add both ladder and wall climb and drop offmesh linkes adjacent to them

add offmesh links for Ladder ontop of and below a ladder

Testing your own navmeshes

you'll frequently need to test the evobots in game to determine if your navmesh allows them to freely navigate the map

in game use the commands

evobot addbot evobot addbot evobot debug drone cometome

this will make the evobots walk to your current position every time you type cometome in the console

test out vents, general access for all hive locations, RTs and marine start
