DrawPaths - mutator which draw network paths in game

[Buggie]

You can use `showall` console command for view all PathNodes in UT without any mutators.

With this mutator you can view in game paths like in UnrealEd.
Exists some mutator commands and settings. Read .txt file inside archive.

For screenshots read this topic.

No any versioning info, so for ensure you use latest version - use dates inside zip file.

If anyone interested I write own, based on Rune code:

That looks excessive.

Better version.

Code: Select all

const		R_WALK = 1;	//walking required
const		R_FLY = 2;   //flying required 
const		R_SWIM = 4;  //swimming required
const		R_JUMP = 8;   // jumping required
const		R_DOOR = 16;
const		R_SPECIAL = 32;
const		R_PLAYERONLY = 64;

How produce text:

Code: Select all

	if ((flags & R_WALK) != 0) { msg = msg $ "W"; flags -= R_WALK; }
	if ((flags & R_FLY) != 0) { msg = msg $ "F"; flags -= R_FLY; }
	if ((flags & R_SWIM) != 0) { msg = msg $ "S"; flags -= R_SWIM; }
	if ((flags & R_JUMP) != 0) { msg = msg $ "J"; flags -= R_JUMP; }
	if ((flags & R_DOOR) != 0) { msg = msg $ "D"; flags -= R_DOOR; }
	if ((flags & R_SPECIAL) != 0) { msg = msg $ "X"; flags -= R_SPECIAL; }
	if ((flags & R_PLAYERONLY) != 0) { msg = msg $ "P"; flags -= R_PLAYERONLY; }
	if (flags != 0) msg = msg $ flags;
	msg = msg @ ";" $ dist @ ";" $ int(diff2d);
	if (diff2d <= 700)
		SetColor(Canvas,0,255,0);
	else if (diff2d < 800)
		SetColor(Canvas,255,255,0);
	else
		SetColor(Canvas,255,0,0);

Yes, I'm interested... because first time I though that is about making paths in run-time. I did one, time ago... indeed a very "basic" (to not say plain stupid) but it worked. Either way Botz mutator does something, otherwise dedicated patch Plugins are making paths but... I HAVE NEVER seen them and now I'm thrilled to look at them. They were all blindly added and connected without being 100% sure about their good connections...

Okay: feed-back
YOU ARE A GENIUS ! As follows:
- When I said that network has a very dynamic process based on my deductions I was RIGHT - Poor little engine...;
- When I said that you cannot see PrunedPaths in Editor but they are available - THEY CAN BE SEEN confirming what I said X Times;

Now this is a mapping/tester tool too - mainly debugger/viewer. Now I want to see if the boys doing stupid paths are having more excuses and what kind of hilarious and pathetic explanations might deliver for failing like n00bs.

Issue: I don't see combos - exactly where 97% of the boys and girls are having issues...

Because these are from Editor:

Better colors for paths:

Tubes too colored by path flags:

[sektor2111]

And bugs too.
This is what game shows:

FakeDraw.PNG

Real paths are these (those two paths are user made) Flag is not logically reachable...

There a single mid path from Flag, Mid Path heading to Flag shown in game doesn't exist and it's not created because it's plain UT.

IDK what you mean. For me both pictures show same.
Also you can try
mutate draw 0-6
for set different modes, and draw different things.
Possible editor draw prune paths too.
Game can use it.
--- EDIT ---
Game draw what exists in actors.
IDK why Editor not draw this. Maybe it is broken path which not listed in Paths for flag but listed from upstreamPaths in destination.

In game I draw both of them. upstreamPaths and paths. And Game can use both.
Maybe editor draw only Paths and supposed if reachspec listed in upstreamPaths then it listed in Paths on other side.
--- EDIT ---
Got it.
Fixed version:
+ arrows.
+ faster draw code.

What is the same here ? Let's focus...

And no, you have two paths where it's ONLY ONE.
Edit:Yes, the last one looks normal. This is the reality.

Try fixed version in post above.

[sektor2111]

Yes, it works, now this is awesome.

Edit: Yes, I'm talking about "Mutate Draw 6" where the dynamic character of this network is shown as it is. Now you can see with eye how are switched internal chains and then... already having those junks in map is useless - they are changed at next "FindPathToward" cycle. Scout does those trash chains... Map which I was showing starts clean (because I'm wiping all useless data) and goes crazy in run-time when Bots start roaming. Nice anyway, a really useful toy.

Small fixes about label position and draw code.

For other extra details, map in which I was pointing paths and tests is posted here.

Don't be scared about them, it's a mixed work: Automated and Manual.

[Buggie]

Add limitation of 350 for paths which goes up or down more 15%.

Green label on path - mean GOOD. Steve Polge recommendation about 700uu for horizontal and 350uu for which goes up or down.
Yellow label on path - mean NOT GOOD.
Red label on path - mean BAD. More 800uu. Nobody able use this path at all. 800uu hardcoded in engine.

You can change this numbers in UT.ini in section

Code: Select all

[DrawPaths.DrawPaths]
HillRatio=0.150000
HillGood=350.000000
DistGood=700.000000
DistMax=800.000000

Would it be ok to remove the older versions and keep the latest one in the 1st post?

Nice one Buggie! Downloading it now
