So in the shower this morning, it hits me... the only hardware /
peripheral that the two machines have in common... the mouse.
Anybody else using IBM optical mice?

Yeah uh... http://www.enterprisemission.com/paper_1/paper_1.php?page=paper1
It's just a few frames of his t3d engine showing how lighting can reflect

You mean he CONTROLS Warren? I wish SOMEBODY would.

There was an error, indeed. I had modified the prepathfinding function to
not return the current node as the first entry in the path, and forgot to
modify the "enemy mouse" script. I re-uploaded it.
Anyway, some points I forgot to mention:
1) The map is not generated nor saved automatically. The error you got
probably came from trying to pathfind without loading the map data.
Use the message window and type:
mapList = buildMap(member("myW3D"))
Where "myW3D" is your W3D member. You'll see some output to the messagelist,
and when it finishes, you'll have a map data in the maplist variable. Take a
peek at it in the object inspector (if you're using MX), so you can see how
it's organized.
Then you need to store it somewhere. This demo uses a field member, you can
store it by doing:
member("mapMember").text = mapList.string
There is a loadMap() function somewhere in the demo, that tries to load the
map data from a field member. You'll surely want to write your own lingo
function to automatizate the process.
2) The map generation has some hardcoded stuff. First it looks for groups
with the "node" string in their names, and relies on the "sector" property
in the userdata. You may want to change that to set your own will
3) There is a slight bug when finding a path where the destination lies in a
sector with multiply entry points. It won't evaluate all possible entries
completely (it should find the one that is both closer to the source node,
and closer to the destination node. Right now it only finds the closest one
to the destination, I guess).

Little demo of the infamous "fur rendering".
http://www.station-zero.com/medion/demos/fur.htm
http://www.station-zero.com/medion/demos/fur.dir
Just a 22 spheres in the same place, each one slightly bigger than the
previous, and with a slightly lower blend level. The animation is simply
texture translation along the Y axis. Cheap, but looks cool. Bad thing it
can be slow on pre GF3 cards, due to too many alphas.
