RP_SouthSide A.I. Nodes & Nav Mesh (Complete)

Description
"Lock n' Node"

This addon provides both RP_SouthSide & RP_SouthSide_Day with complete Nav Meshes, and nearly complete A.I. Nodes. Hand-crafted by myself over many hours. Play without limits and have fun! Remember to download the maps, as they are separate from this addon.

Really quick, let's get the bad stuff out of the way.

This map is huge. It's literally the biggest map that I have ever attempted to node. Unfortunately, GMod has an A.I. Node limit of 4096 in it's Engine. You can bet your a*s that I hit that limit pretty quick. Due to this, some areas couldn't be noded. Trust me, I wanted to - but that's something the Facepunch team will need to adjust.

The areas I wasn't able to node are: The Motel Rooms, The Apartment Buildings, The Vehicle Tunnels, Most Rooftops, and Some Basements.

Each A.I. Node was hand-placed by myself, so I had to choose which areas would be the least important for NPC's. It'll have to stay that way until Garry, or a Facepunch team member increases that limit.

Besides that, nearly everything else has been given A.I. Nodes. All interiors & exteriors, some rooftops, the sewers, alleys, the docks, warehouses, you name it. Now, some places have very few nodes, again that's because of the limit - not laziness. Regardless, they all work and about 90% of the map now functions with all ground NPC's.

Why did I make this? This map is incredible, I couldn't wait to play some singleplayer campaigns on it. Then I quickly realized, it wasn't A.I. noded. For me, that's always a slap in the face when you find an amazing map with no NPC support. It's a shame, and a darn waste. Well, Crunch Man doesn't have that philosophy. I think everybody should be able to enjoy any map, without limits. So I took it upon myself to spend the time and give it proper NPC support. Have fun, and hopefully I can complete the missing nodes if GMod gets the limit increased.

I can confirm that the game rebuilding the nodegraph breaks the nodes. Type ai_norebuildgraph 1 in the console and then go to your garrysmod\maps\graphs folder and delete the 1 KB rp_southside.ain. You can use ai_nodes in the console to verify that the nodes are truly loaded

@Albino

That is amazing news but really p!sses me off because I spent over a decade requesting the development team to increase the limit and they constantly claimed it was "Engine locked".

Now I'm an old fart that hasn't touched GMod in ages, and they finally increase it. Dirty buggers.

they've increased the max nodes by 2x, so you can probably fully node this now

Type "ai_norebuildgraph 1" in the console, incase the map says the nodegraph is outdated.

The nodes don't work in spite of me subscribing to this. I re-installed it, re-installed the maps, did all that and they still won't show.

I'm not sure if you know how to fix that but is there a method to get it mounted right?
