pathfinding offer to help out

[Bandit224]

In all honesty, the pathfinding issues of the main vehicles (especially trucks) has always been hurting the game.

Anyways, after vanishing for about 4 years , I'm back. I think that Warzone2100-R needs to get a team of coders together to discuss and deal with the pathfinding issues. Although I'm a rather inexperienced coder, I think I may be of some help in working with pathfinding; I have created pathfinding programs before, similar to what mapquest uses. Anyone have any clue where the best place for information, and where to start would be?

What do you wish to know?
astar.c & fpath.c ? Or do you mean in a more generic way of how pathfinding works?

[Per]

There is an outdated wiki page at http://wiki.wz2100.net/Path-finding (we no longer use gateways for path-finding, eg)

The code itself is found in src/fpath.c src/astar.c and src/move.c. The path-finding algorithm itself is in astar.c, while I suspect many of the problems people have apart from pure performance are in move.c (resolving collisions between droids, etc).

cool thanks. I'll take a look at move.c and astar.c and see what I can do.
