I use my own implementation for simple pathfinding and deprecated AStar API for Horseless Headless Horsemann. I've made some tests with Navigation System API by Leech_v2, but it takes a long time to generate the navigation so I dropped that idea.

Actually i am interested in developing a path finder using waypoints system by first generating waypoints for the map which will consume some time when its first time entering the map, then using parent and child tactics to connect the nodes, its going to be complicated but for surely its going be efficient.

Similar implementation already exists and is based on the navmesh system. It generates navigation automatically:

I've tested the navigation system with HHH boss and it works perfectly, I really liked the result, but yea, a bit slow to generate.

I thought it was a bit redundant to add it only just for 1 boss because it takes a long time to generate navigation meshes, especially on Halloween maps with specific geometry. For regular NPCs current system is perfect, they don't have to be smart and look for players around the whole map.

Hello.
I have a question about installation to the ReHLDS server. I downloaded the latest version of ReHLDS, Re AMXX and Metamod-R, but still no information in server's console (I mean, no info after typing amxx version or meta version), feels like addons just don't work. Did I do something wrong?

Did you update path to game lib in liblist.gam file?
Also, don't forget to install ReGameDLL and ReAPI. Better to use AmxModX 1.8.3+.
