This is a "caught behind the wall" problem with tracking, not necessarily cheating, but definitely bad AI IMHO.
I have seen this "stuck behind a wall" behavior many times lately with trunk / 0.8 builds, but I do not recall ever noticing it in my many plays of 0.7. |

I don't see how this is a "major" problem. It's not even an interface screw, just monsters behaving more stupidly than you'd expect. |

so this behavior intended and should not be addressed? |

Nah, I was just getting frustrated browsing through bug reports sorted by severity and there being so many of them. Sorry about taking it out on you! |

I'd have reported this as a minor problem since it's not causing active detriment.
To me:
Trival is non-document textual problems, icon problems
Minor is non-detrimental bugs like pathfinding or id'ing that can be worked around
Major is a bad gamebreaking bug like getting trapped somewhere.
Crash is crash. |

Monsters have decent pathfinding as long as their target is in their LOS. Once it loses sight, it goes to the last seen position. Once there, if it still cannot see you, there's a stealth check (one chance in stealth / 3). If monster succeed its rolls, it keeps tracking you for a duration which depends on its intelligence. If it fails the roll, it starts wandering. Here, the orc have failed the check and has gone back to wandering.
Maybe the stealth check could be removed so they keep tracking for as long as their remember you (about 5-15 turns after last seeing you for monsters with normal intelligence). Seems a bit too easy to lose them. |

"Here, the orc have failed the check and has gone back to wandering."
too bad that this is not the lone example - not even for stealth based characters. Happened many times after that =(

no prob, big guy - you already have very much pressure with up-keeping this game(with other devs) so, what your wish - is my command - change severity to minor if you like. I don't mind, as long as this game developed and keeps being awesome!
You, jpeg and galehar, doing a great work! |

As stated, I've also seen this a lot ( as well as non melee characters leaping into melee ahead of mellee-bound allies) |

OK, I've looked into it, and the implementation is quite bad and a bit buggy. I'll try to fix it. |

Can you post the logic? I got an A in discrete mathematics. |

Pathfinding has changed a bunch in the past 2.5 years. Any reason to keep this open? |

For what it's worth, I have experienced this (or something very similar) in 0.12. So the problem (of stuck-behind-a-wall) is still here (I think). |
