I'll be looking into the unit navigation problems next since they're really noticeable on maps with steep cliffs.

What's new:

* Improved the chat text window in the shell
- Copying text with Ctrl-C now works correctly
- Clicking in the window enables keyboard navigation and selection
- Pressing Tab returns focus to the chat edit box

* Fixed a crash when re-entering Combat Exercises after finishing the series

* Minelayer now avoids hazard areas (e.g. Gun Tower coverage) and lava

* Added experimental support for setting IP ports in net.ini
- ConnectPortInternet: port to use for Internet (winets2.dll)
- ConnectPortLAN: port to use for TCP/IP LAN (wudplan.dll)

* Added more cases to re-enable collision after getting stuck
- Maybe this will help with cass of units being uncollidable

* Fixed some math errors
- ...in FindPath when when the start and goal were on the same spot on blocked terrain
- ...in Precompute_Matches when max_priority was extremely large
- ...in Terrain_GetIntersection when the ray was almost exactly parallel to the ground

* Fixed a crash when dropping excessive amounts of scrap
- It's now capped at 75% of remaining game objects

* Fixed large-radius bullets sometimes not colliding with buildings
- The particular case was fully-charged MAG versus a Soviet Barracks

sweet, that's awesome!

Ditto that.

How about scavs?

They shouldn't go for scrap in hazard areas or on lava. (If they are, a save game demonstrating the problem would be very helpful.)

I'll have to test your claims, Ken.

But will they stay away from map edges that drop off?

In theory? Yes.
In practice? Who knows?

(They should treat those edge drop-offs as cliffs and stay away from them.)

Good!
I haven't had the opportunity to test some of the strat maps I'd like...There are a couple that I like that have some...shall we say precarious edges?

As soon as some scrap falls down there say good bye to your scav.
