Redo the entire AI system

[eezstreet]

A brief history of the AI system

• Original system, implemented in Elite Forces
• SOF version, with ghoul2
• JK2 version, with updated nav, and much functionality removed
• JKA version, with further altered nav
• JKA version, with C++ stripped out
• JKG version, with AWP/navmesh conflicts and overall just a crappy built-on-top-of handling of it, which is just messy, buggy, and ineffecient.
  I propose once branch CPlusPlus is done, we take the proper initiative and add some C++ classes to deal with AI properly, using AWP as a baseline for navigation, ditching g_nav.cpp and all that... It's really quite a mess as it is.

What do you want to do with UniqueOne's enhancements?

As he said, use AWP as a baseline (ditch jka way points) and do things more
or less the same but cleaner, and hopefully that means more bug free

Use AWP, toss more or less the rest of it and redo it from ground up.

Ah, my bad I didn't realize UniqueOne's enhancement was called AWP.

Someone should summarize his features then, to create a specification for
the new AI. Piratepad time ;)

It's essentially another mod's AI bandaged onto JA's system. AWP refers to "automatic waypoint" system, or how it generates AI pathing. That part stays. But the actual AI itself is just another system stitched onto JKA's AI.
