Overview

The pathfinding grid is made of equally sized tiles and it is aligned with the x and z axis. The size of the tile and the number of tiles are along each axis are stored in the BNV. Grid rows corespond to the x axis and grid column corespond to the z axis.

A tile can have one of the following types (appearance as visible with ai2_showgrids=1):

  • 0 : clear (no cross)
  • 1 : nearwall (light green cross)
  • 2 : border1 (lightest blue cross)
  • 3 : border2 (lighter blue cross)
  • 4 : semipassable (green cross)
  • 5 : border3 (blue cross)
  • 6 : border4 (dark blue cross)
  • 7 : stairs (dark green cross)
  • 8 : danger (orange cross)
  • 9 : impassable (red cross)


Storage

The grid is stored compressed in .raw files and it is decompressed on demand (when an AI needs to find its way through a BNV). The used compression algorithm is a form of RLE:

  • a sequence of tiles that have the same type form a run
  • a run can have a length of up to 255 tiles
  • runs of length 1 are treated as any other length runs
  • runs of up to 15 tiles (short runs) are stored in one byte:
XY (hexadecimal, with X > 0 ) stands for a run of X tiles of type Y
  • runs of more than 15 tiles (long runs) are stored in 2 bytes:
0Y XX (hexadecimal, with XX > 0 ) stands for a run of XX tiles of type Y
the leading 0 is used to differentiate between short and long runs


Example

The example below is the grid of BNV number 32 from level1_Final.

(chr_teleport 0 0 gets you there, and then you can use chr_show_bnv=1 and ai2_showgrids=1)

The example was chosen because it's a relatively small grid (45 bytes of data) and illustrates the format completely.
