Warning - Pathgrid contains 334 inter-grid connections.

Post » Mon Apr 05, 2010 6:12 pm

I opened up a mod (not mine) in the CS to see how the author did a few things and when it opened it gave me the message Pathgrid for cell Wilderness (6, 23) in world Tamriel contains 334 inter-grid connections.

Does that indicate a problem? I mean is it safe to use? I only ask because it's a great mod and I'd like to use it but not if it's going to cause problems with the game.

Thanks.

It's safe to use, except that NPCs pathing through this cell might need a bit more time to process their routes.

The error is caused by editing a pathgrid that is present in a .esm from a .esp. When this is done, occasionally the nodes in that cell get doubled along with the connections. The error is referring to the number of connections between nodes in that cell, saying that it's over the 250 limit of what it normally allows. Using this mod shouldn't cause any problems, but you way want to bring it to the attention of the author and suggest removing the vanilla pathgrid from this cell and rebuilding it.

@ Vagrant0: Are you sure that error is for INTRA-grid connections, which is what you described? Not INTER-grid connections? Which I interpret as connections from that cell into other cells. I've seen that error come up on cells with way less than 250 actual nodes in them.
