Hello all. I've been reading a lot about steering behaviours recently (y'know Craig Reynolds, Boids flocking, all that), which sound very useful.

I was overjoyed when I saw OpenSteer - a steering behaviour library written by Reynolds himself. However, the last stable release was in 2004 and there are a lot of common steering behaviours missing.

I tried to search the web for alternatives or extensions to OpenSteer, but couldn't find anything.

So, my question is, can anyone recommend a good steering behaviour library?

As far as I know, everybody implements this themselves...

I used to be of the mind to implement everything myself. But these days I find it is worth tracking down suitable libraries to save the hassle of putting together a good implementation. Even once one understands everything, it's still a long way from well-written stable code. Not to mention the time pressures of work deadlines - writing everything yourself runs the risk of encountering "that bug", which grinds progress to a halt for days or weeks at a time.

I still can't find any suitable libraries for steering behaviours, however, so it looks like I am indeed stuck with coding everything myself. Luckily I got a couple of good books, so maybe progress will be swift.

Oh, I agree on principal. I just don't know of any steering libraries beyond Reynold's original work. :)

I've heard there's some Steering behavior implementation in recast & detour

Cheers

Suppose I have a map format .Obj, how OpenSteer like finding ways to make the map?
