Little WP check glitch...

[>BKA< T Wrecks]

Ok, I found one small mistake in the way the automatic WP check works. Let me try to explain this with an example. Let's say you placed a camp WP, which happens to be #157 in our example, on top of a crate - and you forgot something there. Much later, you want to save, and now there are three possibilities:

1)You forgot both a connection TO 157 and one back FROM 157.
Result: You'll get the error message "#157 is not connected with any other WP" and be teleported to 157. Perfect.

2)You placed 157, and a connection down from the crate was drawn automatically. However, you forgot to make a nice jump connection up to 157.
Result: You'll get the error message "no path found from 0 to 157" and be teleported to 157. Just fine.

3)You placed 157 with very short apmd setting or apmd off, then made a jump connection up there. However, you forgot to add a connection down.
Result: You'll get the error message "no path found from 157 to 0" and be teleported to 0!!! This is not ideal.
----------------------------------------
So the code does some check like this:
If there's no connection from A to B, teleport to B.

Ideally, the check would be as follows:
if there's no connection from A to B,
check if B is 0.
If B is not 0, teleport to B
else teleport to A.
-----------------------------------------
NOTE: Of course there's an easy workaround: Once you get teleported back to 0, open the console, read the error message and do a manual teleport to the other WP. This bug is really no biggie, but if it's easy to fix... 9_9

hehe yeah i found this annoying too should be an easy fix

yeah i had this problem to it really sucks when you have edited the maps waypoints a lot so there is pretty much no order anymore and waypoint 200 is next to 597 and you have to guess where the broken waypoint is lol

it will now teleport you to the first waypoint it mentions if the second waypoint is zero...
but it could be a problem if the waypoint that has the problem is zero...

sweet i was just looking at the code for how to do this

oh well doesn't really matter about zero as the chances of a prob there are smaller
