The algo we're using is able to consider "important" or "faster" paths, so we'll probably be adding that at some point.

BoyC already answered this in one of the Steam threads:

With the recent change away from the subscription model we also disabled free trials for the time being. This is because we expect a big traffic surge after the Steam launch. A free trial would make the load spike worse. Once we're confident the service is up and running properly we'll look into the option of a demo mode again.

Okay, did that now, walked the entirety of Tellesis without user interaction.


It is much better but still plants get on the way at times.

That's my point: I just fixed that, but the build isn't available yet.

Some notes:

Profanity filter: It's never gonna be perfect, sure, but we'll keep iterating on it.

Radar doodles/pings: Now color coded by squad rank. (Red = leader, cyan = officer, white = peon)

MPC planner filter: How do you imagine it? Hide by type, but also hide the connections to them?

There's a difference between QoL fixes and redoing the whole GUI from the ground up though.

Tip: Soundcloud is great but has a 120minute upload limit; Mixcloud doesn't and welcomes podcasts (i.e. you could upload all the old episodes as well)

Shift-click the radar, not double-click (since it's out of visible distance), but yes.

That being said the robot still has problems with the occasional plant but I have a solution in mind for that as well.

Yea sorry about that; the way PunBB works is that you get this massive list of people which for our forum would've been slightly impractical smile

Hm.

Let's say shift-clicking on the radar adds a new route point that it will follow after it finished the previous ones. How would you tell it to change its mind and forget everything that was set up, i.e. how do you break the previous routes? You could move the robot but it's not exactly intuitive.

I kinda like doek's solution of using both mouse buttons to mark intermediate / final points, kinda like on a GPS.

Gargaj can we not have pin point pathing, where I set mini dots on a radar, then click go or something and then it moves, and tryings to navigate between each point I put?

You basically mean daisychaining walk paths?

I'm pretty sure I just fixed the "robot randomly stops in the middle of an empty road for no apparent reason" bug and it is as embarrassing as it sounds.

I will probably push a patch out on the test server later today.

You can send them to people on your friends' list; the ammo thing should technically work with multiple slots but sometimes it bugs out because it tries to load the ammo before the gun itself. Anyway it's a start.

Do you have any idea why:

sometimes auto-pilot acts as Stranger describes above - i.e. runs about 40m and then stops.
sometimes it just runs straight towards the shift+click with no path finding.
sometimes it can navigate its way through a complicated maze of plants and impassable with no issues for many kilometres

I've tried for hours on end to find common circumstances for when it is in each these modes but I can't work it out. It just seems to have moods.

I don't have an answer yet and as you said it's really hard to reproduce, but I'm gonna refactor the whole pathfinding code sooner or later.

One thing I do know that it's not simple to write pathfinding code for a scenario where the terrain changes dynamically (case in point e.g. plants growing).
