Fully generates polygon cells for the entire navmesh. Previously we never build this which caused ai to clip into, or walk into each other in-game (this system is an MSET 8 feature).
Allow to compile the editor for separate versions of the navmesh set. NavMesh cells are now also partially reversed and properly read out. Creating and writing them will happen in the future.
Titanfall navmeshes have the dtOffMeshConnection::userId field changed from unsigned into to unsigned short, and the lower half seems to be used for the jump types and (possibly) some flag. Work in progress implementation of the jump system on off-mesh links.
The dtNavMesh structure members were marked as public, but they should be private. Made them private. Also, dtNavMesh::addTile was reconstructing all links, even when we add tiles with pre-existing links. The link building logic has been moved to a new member function 'dtNavMesh::connectTile'. This should only be called once the navmesh tile has been added succesfully during build. If we load a navmesh now, the existing links will be used from now on. The dtNavMesh::m_tileCount member is now also correctly incremented and decremented in addTile/removetile.
There was an issue where Recast's common math library was less complete than that of Detour. Some common math operations were also isolated in specific translation units causing copies everywhere. All common math operations have been moved to the Shared library ultimately fixing all the above issues.
User can now define where the navmesh will be build and what would be excluded in the map. Also adjusted some colors of existing bounding boxes to make them more visible. They weren't as visible as they used to be after the UX and rendering improvements.
New ability to adjust it in all directions, recast and detour offsets are separate. By default, the Recast mesh renders 20 units from the input geom and Detour 30 units to avoid z-fighting.
Static pathing data is only build when the entire navmesh is build, but if an individual tile has been created, then the data isn't rebuild to accommodate the changes. Building code has been moved to the base class as it should be used for all tile editors, and is now also called from other code paths that require it.
Flags are changed to game specific flags, but never reset after build causing the recast debug draw to be incorrect. Reset area flags to fix this issue.
Regression was caused in commit f95eb13ab30c78c03c38aa20492389d0fdf39a7f. The m_tileSize member was moved to the base class as this allows us to run the navmesh type selector in the base class which is subclassed by all the other 3 editors. The member wasn't removed from the tilemesh editor class causing it to shadow the base class one.
Move common code to Editor_Common and fix solomesh. Solomesh is useful for debugging recast as it allows for generating everything in 1 tile. Also did numerous fixes for the tilecache code, though this is still broken and won't be really used for the r5sdk project, but its nice to have for a potential project outside r5sdk that uses the xyz coordination system, which avoids having to run the navmesh through a conversion pass in runtime.
Also used flag approach for tilemesh rendering, previously you could only render one thing, or a hardcoded set of things at a time. Now you can toggle what you want to draw (e.g. the voxels and detail polys). Also moved all NavMesh drawing options to the NavMesh category instead of TileMesh, e.gm the BVTree drawing options. This patch also allows you to toggle the input mesh off separately from the NavMesh, which is useful for larger levels.
Use the drawlist wrapper instead of relying on ImGui windows (which didn't work to begin with). Also fixed all text colors that weren't converted from the previous library.
The new mapping was never applied on the disjoint set, causing the indices to be off during traversal table building. Also made the initialization of the disjoint set the responsibility of dtCreateDisjointPolyGroups.
Everything 'dtAlloc', 'rcAlloc', 'dtAlloc', 'dtFree', got renamed into 'rdAlloc', 'rdFree'. There were a lot of object allocators that used these suffixes which were not accounted for causing those to be renamed. Everything has been renamed back to their original names (excluding the actual rdAlloc/rdFree functions as these were supposed to be renamed).
No code logic was changed in this commit.
The accidental renaming was caused in commit fa8d89d287752782ebdd5d9563f04fa72ef0bee9
The editor now takes the static pathing data into account when creating paths/testing the navmesh using the NavMeshTesterTool or CrowdTool. An option is made allowing you to select which traverse anim type you want to use for pathing (each of them uses a different traversal table, thus giving them different options as to which links and jumps they can take).
This allows us to test AI withing the editor itself, thus saving a lot of time shuffling navmesh files around and reloading them in-game.
(unsigned short)-1 (65535) is technically a valid poly group. We also count from 2 as 1 is reserved for unusable poly's, and 0 was reserved kept reserved for simplicity so just use 0 as the null identifier.
- Separate disjoint set and traversal table building code
- Use game types and data to determine what to build into the traversal tables (e.g., 5 traversal tables for _small and only 1 for the rest).
- Automatically initialize the editor using the _small navmesh parameters instead of the broken defaults.
These values seem to generate navmeshes that are almost identical to Titanfall 2 single player navmeshes in terms of geometry calculations per navmesh size. Its likely these are the actual values used internally to create these.
The static pathing code is split into 2 elements, the disjoint sets (poly groups), and the traversal table (which links poly groups, visually known as poly islands) together through jump or offmesh links. Reachability covers more than just traversal in the context of this game engine, therefore it has been renamed to avoid future confusion.
A more consistent name with what has bee reversed so far. Also added documentation on what has been reversed entirely and as much information that i have about stuff that has been partially figured out.
All recast/detour allocation and assertion code were identical, with the exception of their names (rc* for recast, dt* for detour). We want to use Recast's rcVectorBase class in Detour code, as there is no Detour equivalent, but copying it in its whole isn't good practice (especially considering there is more boilerplate code we want to get rid of in the future). Moved these to Shared so Detour could use it as well under the name rdVectorBase (rd stands for Recast Detour). No changes to the logic of the code were made in this patch.
Instead of building the static pathing data when the NavMesh is getting saved, build it right after the NavMesh has been build. also, parse this data out from NavMesh files loaded from the disk. This patch also documented some extra features and designs. In the future, static pathing logic will also be implemented in the detour path query code.
Tile width and height is determined by m_tileSize*m_cellSize. Also removed an extraneous clamp on tileBits; value is calculated with an rcMin value of 16.
Properly flip edge vertices during the build. This also reduces the final mesh size, and significantly reduced the reachability table size (static pathing).
Used by the engine for AI wall running, but also other AI logic like move direction. This probably is some cached ref pos + yaw to save on computation in the runtime, and probably used to lerp the AI to the correct direction before jumping. Current implementation seems very close to original navs now, though, the original navs appear to have some yaw angles being rotated a bit, probably manual adjustments to make the AI face a wall that isn't perpendicular.
Also implemented debug drawing for the new ref positions, and made the start circle of the off-mesh connection red, and the end position green to make it easy what is what in bidirectional connections.
