Building Navmeshes

[jmcdaniel83]

Was curious as to the current workflow for generating new navmesh files for the server. Was noticing that a lot of these meshes are pretty old, but that could be just fine. However, understanding the procedure for generating these meshes could be beneficial for someone who would like to incorporate these type of functionality into the code base itself so that you could be guaranteed that you have the latest version of a navmesh that we know works well and will not hurt performance on the server.

Really this came about due to me just curious how the procedure currently is done so that if anyone needed to update the navmeshes that it was consistent and repeatable quality and standards.

Geometry in levels tends not to change much, if at all, so there isn't much of a need to update the meshes.

If you're interested though, here is the tool;

I believe there is an issue with the generated obj files where many vertices are generated multiple times, though, this shouldnt have any effect on the resultant navmesh file
