Jedi AI avoiding cliffs/pits? about openjk HOT 5 CLOSED

This can be fixed, but would require recompiling the maps. Basically, it looks like the JA maps screwed up in a number of areas, including the npc "do not enter" zones. JK2 ones seem fine though.

Is that how NPCs figure things like jumping too? Or is that part of their AI?

If there's a DONOTENTER brush in the way, they won't cross it under any circumstances.

So I'm guessing there's no easy way that an NPC could figure out a map area was a fall without appropriate mapping? I'm not trying to be a prick, I just think if it was any kind of simple (when it comes to coding that is) that it'd be nice if Jedi would watch out for unmarked falls at least somewhat.

Not really easy. The closest you could feasibly get would be some kind of navmesh system. While some people have coded this before, it's sorta never really put to practice as of yet. You're looking at a fairly major navigation rewrite which may cause more bugs than it fixes.
