Nextbot Navmesh – Half-Life 2 Beta: Air Exchange
A moderately handcrafted navmesh for Air Exchange
to test the navmesh try using it with the drgbase nextbot mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1560118657 or these advanced player nextbots: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2148063174
Q/A
-Nav meshes are groups of squares placed across the map that contain information that nexbots use to see the map
Example #1 using nav_edit 1 on gm_liminal_gallery_2 
Example #2 using nav_edit 1 on gm_liminal_gallery_2 
Example #3 using nav_edit 1 on gm_fortbaxter 
in order for any and all nextbots to work, you actually need to have a navmesh; you can create one by putting nav_generate into your console on any map, but this may take several minutes or even sometimes hours to fully generate depending on the size and complexity of the map.
-more advanced/ accurate mesh, meaning better navigation for nextbots; they’re less likely to get stuck; but still possible 🙁 .
-more optimized mesh than nav_generate.
-guess who support!
-increases the amount of hiding spots and encounter points, this improves nextbots like Gargitron.
-accommodation for nextbots separate from the ‘png chasers’, e.g ‘crouching attribute’ nodes and parkour (see the first gif)
-nav meshes in places where the nav_generate command fails to create them such as out of bounds, pits and many other areas.
-downloading this will save the nav mesh, instead of having to recreate it every time you load a new game (nav_save for anyone who wants to save a nav_generated nav mesh, this saves the nav file to the garrysmod maps folder), and it takes way less time to download this than to generate a new mesh.
-even scarier and more effective nextbots.
– Inside the facility on the metal platforms, some nextbots will fall off, this is because they can’t slow down quick enough; there are special attributes that tell a nextbot to slow down, but most nextbots ( like the ‘png chasers’ ) don’t have the code to actually slow down.
