This latest build we focused on updated the AI for the Proteus 2 creatures. Using the Snubs Larvae as a template, which has been heavily tested, we migrated this system over to many of the existing creatures. So far, the results have been fantastic. [h2]New AI Benefits[/h2] [olist] [*] Very performant. We can now run 20-30 creatures with minimal frame rate impact. [*] Collides with the environment properly, including walls, structures, rocks, etc. [*] Collides with vehicles, which allows certain vehicles to apply damage to creatures. [*] Creatures collide with each other and even ragdoll dead creatures, which adds a level or realism. [*] Creatures can spawn properly from underground, adding more realism. [*] Creatures can no longer fall under surfaces, resolving a long time A* issue.
