Hey, Cheeseh, I'm seeing some weirdness with the pathfinding changes you made back in version 128. I'm noticing that the bots are taking some very circuitous routes and consequently taking a much longer time to reach waypoints.

I reverted bot_navigator.h and bot_waypoint.cpp to an earlier version, recompiled, and the bots appear to navigate sanely again.

Have you noticed anything odd with your latest compiles as far as how bots pathfind? I can give more specific examples if you haven't seen anything, but I thought I'd check first.

Hmm actually didn't think of this, cos I noticed bots taking weird routes too and didn't think why. In that case I'll need to debug it to check soon.

there we go

https://sourceforge.net/projects/rcbot2/fil...ta.zip/download

0.546 beta haha

well it'll only improve the pathfinding speed a little, but at least it works properly now!

Works great! The bots are fiercer than ever!

Really, thank you for putting in so much time on this project. There's nothing like it around. My friends and I battle these bots multiple times per week and enjoy them a great deal. You've done great work.

Thanks again!
