Pathing is not what it used to be

Post by Godde »

First I thought that it was heatmapping that made units go around and not take the short route. Apperently there is something else too.

They take a long way instead of a short.

25.png is related to http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2083 and already fixed but it did not appear in latest bugfix release which is very depressive.

Units are also pushing against each other, without making any attempt to find a new path.

yeah good luck asking for a fix about that push bug, I have been bitching about that for weeks. The answer has been that to fix it would be to make other behaviors much worse.

In what ways is the new pathing supposed to be better over the old? There's the option for heatmapping which apparently nobody uses... Other than that all I've seen is bugs (yes some have been fixed though it's not deemed important enough to release a new version) and bad behavior. Why not just revert?

The tank has a straight, flat route to the destination... Instead it turns around to go down a ramp, up a ramp, which is both longer way and slower terrain

I agree new pathing is bad. Good luck.
