Placing paths manually or having them auto-generated by the map editor is standard practice. It's mostly because it would be expensive/silly to calculate at runtime -- calculate it when it changes, save it in a format bots can parse; the bo

Wow. I wonder what this tells us about people who are dreaming of 24/7 video surveillance of the whole planet.. ? I mean, if a photo is worth a thousand words, then surely hi-resolution video is worth a lot more. So you see...
