Pathing form data files.
I've seen a couple of ideas for pathing so far and most of the involve "Mapping" each zone because the server doesn't know anything about the world?
We should be able to convert the data files the client uses into wire frames and then reduce them.
the wire frame would have 1,000,000+ point we should be able to reduce to less than 5% then we can either use these area's in either pathing modes:
Area pathing - we define areas with "vertexes" and monsters can roam in an area but can only move from area to area using "vertexes".
Waypoints - monsters go from war point to way point with waypoint being either one way or two way.
If anyone thinks this is a good idea to follow let me know.
