CCL's AI Navigation Overhaul Add-on v1.00

Description
This addon is now officially in the public build :) Thx you for the support! I won't remove the addon here just in case if someone mess something up :P

This add-on's main goal is to fix every zombie AI navigation issues (godspots) on all official escape maps. There also will be some improvement with the navigation meshes in general. Zombies will be much more smarter, they will climb and use more routes to get you!

What navigation issues? I don't understand :(
I have prepared a nice presentation screenshot for you :) Just look at the first screenshot on this workshop page. Navigation meshes are normally invisible ingame but here you can see them clearly. Each of them are connected with a blue line but there are some meshes that are not connected... which means: If you as survivor stand on such an area the zombies won't find a way to reach you because the nav mesh is isolated from all the other ones, causing the zombies to stay on their position forever to find a reachable route :( Same problem occurs when nav meshes are missing on certain areas. You need to manually connect or create additional nav meshes ingame to fix those issues.

Ongoing updates (COMPLETE)
This is a side-project between my main projects (TWZ & HotZ) so I can not spare all my freetime into it. It will take a while to find all those issues. I'm gonna stress-test every map, checking out every walkable areas until nothing is left! To make it interesting for YOU and for ME. I will update this add-on at least once a week.

Ongoing documentation about any nav issues (COMPLETE)
Once I'm done with a map I will also upload every nav issues that I found ingame as screenshots on this workshop page and even mark them properly. Red marked ones are nav issues, green marked ones (optional here, not everything is showed via screenshots) are improved nav meshes. If you found a new issue just post it in this thread and I will fix it asap!

Compatibility:
- This addon will just get ignored if you join a public server which doesn't have this add-on.
- Great news for server owners! You can use this addon without problems. Players won't get kicked because they don't have this VPK.

Can you do one for the survivor bots? I don't have any friends that play regularly and I don't trust online lobbies due to trolls and stuff. I have the rouge setting off and still AI don't really listen and stop to try to open unopenable, and blocked doors in Escape, and they also just get stuck in place or in an area, an example is like on the Ranoake PD map, cell block A. on the bottom floor they dont go back up the stair case, its like they dont know how to use stairs.

Alright, fair enough. Thanks!

No, this addon has been included in the current build and doesn't add anything new.
pronoun user Aug 6, 2020 @ 8:01pm 
So, does this addon do anything in the current build of the game?

Hi Ratchet Lombax :) I updated it since Barlowe Square and Montclair got split in two parts on a recent update so I have to update here too or people who subscribed here will have Nav issues since it's outdated on those two maps.

I thought the recent update for Contagion took all these NAV issue fixes and added them but apparently not? Since you updated it i mean

Thats great to hear! I was worried as someone had said they haven't said anything in months. Hoping for a new update soon :)

I have given the devs permission to use this nav add-on on their next update :) There should be an official update coming soon, but not sure when.

Impressive! This is superb work CCL Sama! Thank you . Is there a possiblity for you to push the official servers into using this ? I am about to quit this game due to the griefers and people who misuse the bugs
