Also, there is no abort on rescue missions -- is this intentional? Thankfully I had an elusion scroll, otherwise I'd be in some trouble.

I'm going to have to close this as unable to repro, unless you have a savegame; a screenshot is utterly useless for something like this, I'm afraid. Not only doesn't it show any behavior, it doesn't help me repro it.

I'm not sure about the abandon mission thing, I'll have to ask Keith about it. All missions should be abandon-able, though, to my recollection.

Just happened again...
This time he got almost to the door, then go hung up on a ledge.
I quit AVWW and restarted, but nothing changed.

The world file is uploaded. Do you need any other files?

Yes, also the entire folder of the region you were in at the time.

Yeah, sorry for the confusion tbogue. We do need the entire folder, that's my fault.

The whole world folder was too big for Mantis, so I arbitrarily deleted the first (by number) half of the regions. Since the problem occurred on the most recent continent, I hope this contains the region you need.

I've had this happen several times as well. They seem to clip into the wall a bit on sloped corners and get themselves stuck in the geometry. You can unstick them by dropping boxes on them and destroying them. The boxes bump them just enough to break them loose.

I can't duplicate this in 0.909 with the save above, so hopefully that means it's solved. Would love feedback on that in the new version, though.

Duplicated the issue in a different save, and then fixed it. Thanks!

* Made a couple of key pathfinding improvements to the NPC pathfinding to keep them from getting stuck on terrain edges.
** Also made it so that they now hover higher again, like they used to, rather than hovering by your feet.
