Progress! You guys are a great help! Now it’s getting as far as your egg files do, which I guess means they’re fine. I’ll avoid layers and converting in the future; I note that while it didn’t accept grids flipped to -90 degrees, it did accept the ones flipped to +90 degrees. However, when the program reaches the stage “write to csv file…”, a grey panda3D screen pops up, and stays grey, with the program not progressing any further. I’ve left it alone at least 15 minutes at this stage, and observed no change; I can’t interact with it either, by pressing enter or entering input. Note that the same happens when I use final_blender_plane.egg and final_blender_plane_col.egg, the two files you included with the Zip.
I tried using the generated navmesh anyway, thinking it might already be complete (it has a size of 27kb, that seems small compared to the others), and I get about half the console’s worth of lines of “Warning: Corrupt Data!” notices, as well as a single pair of “couldnt find destrination/source” afterwards.
After that, though, the program runs, but the AI bot that follows my player-controlled character moves onto spaces that ought to be unpathable; it always runs straight behind the character, instead of avoiding walls and such. I’ve made it follow me across the whole grid, in case the orientation was somehow off by 90 or 180 degrees, but it paths over the entire grid without making any detours. The terrain is not being transformed; I also tried both deleting faces, and deleting only faces, and neither produced the expected results.
If you like, I can upload the files for you to look at. I am certain I didn’t fiddle with the BlenderMeshGen.py or anything, and all the files it had in the Zip are with it now, except the example eggs and blends and the example navmesh.
I tend to do my best problem-solving before 10:00 AM, so hopefully I’ll be enlightened tomorrow morning; that’s how it was when I was still struggling to make my characters jump into the air. A day of pulling my hair out, and the next morning it’s suddenly all so obvious.
