Uleat: Implemented rule-based node pathing for bots
- This currently applies to out-of-combat following movement and blocked los in-combat movement
- The default is set to 'true' (use node pathing)
- The default is set to 'true' (use node pathing)..so, consider disabling it if cpu use is too high
- If you want to disable node pathing, apply the optional sql '2017_02_25_bots_use_pathing_rule.sql' file located in the utils/sql/git/bots/optional sub-directory. This will apply a 'false' rule..but, it can be changed as desired
- This helps with bot movement..but, there are still issues...
Uleat: Implemented rule-based position update packet with movement timer check for bots
- This currently only applies to out-of-combat movement
- The default is set to 'false' (original behavior) to help save bandwidth (each bot will send an update packet every 1/10th of a second when enabled)
- If you want to enable the position update packet, apply the optional sql '2017_02_25_bots_update_position_with_timer_rule.sql' file located in the utils/sql/git/bots/optional sub-directory. This will apply a 'true' rule..but, it can be changed as desired
- This appears to help with/eliminate rubber banding
