MeshGen.py for blender cannot be downloaded because the url in the documentation (pathfinding) leads to a 404 error.
Is there a solution and, if not, an alternative?
It’s already too outdated to use, but still.

## Description
The link to the PandAI website https://sites.google.com/site/etc… pandai/download/BlenderMeshGen.zip?attredirects=0&d=1 as referenced in the manual to download available PandAI sample programs as well as the mesh converter doesn't work anymore. The converter is highly outdated, but its source is necessary to understand how panda3d.ai works and how to modernize the PandAI sample programs and provide a baseline standard for usage and IE navigation mesh generation from .bam files.
## Steps to Reproduce
Click any of the PandAI website links in the manual such as the one at the bottom of the introductory PandAI page https://docs.panda3d.org/1.10/python/programming/pandai/getting-started such as https://sites.google.com/site/etcpandai/documentation/getting-started/PandAIBasicTutorial.zip?attredirects=0&d=1 and they will return a Site not found page.

I’d recommend Wezu A star nav
A little silly path finding and nav mesh(graph) making script for Panda3D.
it can be used as 2d and 3d, i also remember implementing some obstacle detection, follow, agro, avoid, flee, item gathering, z level travel.

I found another issue
Recently, I took it upon myself to reexpose the built-in PandAI (panda3d.ai) artificial intelligence system, now allowing for A* pathfinding over terrain, stairs, and arbitrary trimeshes. Visual examples can be found below. The full source repository is available here: https://github.com/rayanalysis/pandai-samples/
This work has involved writing a new navmesh generation routine, centered around the creation of:
A PandAI navmesh initialization layer and
(optional) a collision mesh for the buil…
But i don’t know how to use NavMeshGenerator.py
