NPC Pathing?

[steve]

Would it be possible to somehow use the map's that come with ShowEQ and use those as templates for pathing? IE, go through the map, drawing special lines throughout the zone, and then have the EMU use that for pathing NPC's?

If NPC's all had the same set path, as in normal EQ, it would seem to take less CPU rather than having each NPC figure out how it will get from X, Y, to X, Y. Any thoughts or comments?

probaly we will use waypoints for NPC pathing.. maybe there will be a tool, that can create these waypoints when the user draws lines on these maps
BUT atm everybody is working on something else, so don't expect this soon.
