16/07/2002 Forum5, A* Explorer Problems
Posted by James Matthews:
Generation5I may have been a tad hasty releasing A* Explorer. The savefiles use an absolute path to the extension DLL which means if you try and open the example files and the EXE/DLLs aren't in "c:\windows\desktop\ase", A* Explorer will die. Additionally, I found a save bug with tutorial01.dll - it'll die if you save! A workaround is to use a Debug build which won't assert. Hopefully, I'll have another Beta release by tomorrow that'll fix these problems.

If that wasn't enough, Forum5 died on me a few days ago. I've been in contact with Infopop, and I'm trying to find and rectify the problem, but it is alluding me so far so please give me a few more days.

The good news now: the final 2.0 of A* Explorer is in the works, and will include a few neat add-ons, including a scripting add-on that will allow you to create your A* heuristics in VBScript/JScript. This means you'll be able to test your pathfinding heuristics without recompilation and see the results immediately!
