Pathfinding Issues in the Escalation VIP build

 

If anyone is seeing any pathfinding issues in the VIP build please let me know as many specifics about it as possible. A description of where you normally see it is good, screenshots of it occurring are even better and reproducible save games are the best.

We are doing testing here and we want to make sure any fixes we attempt actually address the issue you may be seeing.

Thank you!

yep there is a 1.

  • Build a Prometheus, then get him in a Meta-Unit or form Army with a bunch of T1-T2, then you will see something really weird with this Meta-Unit Pathfinding. an Army with a Prometheus in it, its a crazy army.

More to come.

Please test unit movement on the Preview branch in steam. To access it use the password PHCvSubstrate.

Preview build had some odd behaviour by the Substrate Care Giver unit. It was going round and round in a small circle. Was odd till i realised there were air units around it and it was kind of trying to track them I think. I moved it a bit further away and it sort of went up and down a bit, going up to try and get to the still fairly close passes of the fighters.

 

I think the unit needs a graphic which gives some idea of its range. The blue light is fine but it if went out around the unit in a very thin wave, getting thinner still until it came to its range limit. Would just need to be a very light and thin effect, either constant or with a slight ripple, but just something a bit more than it has now.

Seems the CareGiver does unleash a web of lines to recharge shields, didn't see that before. You might want to differentiate the colour a bit more from the beams of the capacitor.
