SL's New Pathfinding Tools Now Available in Beta -- Region Owners Can Opt-In to Pathfind-ize Their Land Early

Linden Lab's new Pathfinding Tools are now available in beta (get the SL viewer with them at this link), so you can start to make projects like this Hazzard-fied cop car chase on the Aditi preview grid:

Also, the Lindens are letting region owners opt-in to get their main grid land enabled to work with these pathfinding tools prior to official launch. Go here for more info.

And if you're already working on projects that use pathfinding, plug in this post, please!

Let's just say that raycasting + pathfinding = wall-crawling robotic spider sentinels.

Any word on the content creator program we were supposed to have to join before having access to the new script functions? It was supposed to be announced last month, and we have been waiting since the demo at SLCC in August. Will this feature be released as part of that program?

Hi Kim, there are no special requirements are needed to use the pathfinding functions. Anyone may use then.

Thanks, Adeon!

Intersting to see this announced on NWN, but still precisely zero notices on the in-world Advanced Creator Tools Notification group which is where I *thought* this stuff was supposed to be announced.
