Curiouser and curiouser. I just updated SVN and tried the map again, with the player start moved right to the visportal in question, and the AI charged me normally.

 

Check your messages. The problem in that area might not involve the visportal.

Just tried it after moving the player start back, and things still worked as they should. So something in the last few days was added to SVN that fixed it, I guess. :huh:

 

Anyway, thanks for the help. I can keep working now without wanting to put a bullet in my hard drive.

This was one of my first questions back in 2009. In my case, it meant one of the VP's sides used a texture other than nodraw. All other textures must be nodraw or AI won't go through them.

 

Edit. Sorry, I see you already explained they were like that. In that case I don't know. I'd make it again from scratch is my only idea now. Could also be a coincidental problem with the pathfinding there maybe.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Can you post a screenshot of the floor at that specific location with the drawing of the aas areas enabled?

I got a VP gone haywire when I made Knighton's manor. In my case, the VP was wrecked by monser_clip brush that intersected the VP. It once I made sure nothing penetrates the VP the problem went away. Afterwards I've been ultra-sensitive of having VPs not being intersected by any worldspawn brushes, and also having the VPs fitting snugly on the surrounding worldspawn brushes. I also create VPs with the DR "create visportal" function (right click).

 

Never had much VP woes afterwards.I hope this helps.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
