====== Crossfire Traffic ======

Crossfire Traffic is a means to communicate the activity surrounding crossfire in an accessible and non-technical way, it is targeted at those who are curious about what is happening with the project, but find the existing mailing lists, commit list, forum, wiki and IRC channels overly complicated, scary, or time consuming to read. As such it does not contain any background details, but instead focuses only on things that are user-visible.

Please put most recent on bottom for month. Unless specified otherwise, changes are in [[:sourceforge:svn_code#trunk]] only.

  * Make mimics easier to hit, since the linear scaling made them hard to hit and heavy-hitters

    * Monsters that are set to approach the player with default behavior (as opposed to RUSH AI), will occasionally dodge off the shortest path to terrain that is no worse than the shortest path's terrain
      * This is less dodging/weaving than the Dijkstra's algorithm inherently produced, but is more easily controlled
      * In this case, we dodge 1/4 of the time, and if that proves to be too much or too little, the random check that is done can be altered to make the chances satisfactory
