Yeah, I used the precompiled version. I will install from source then.

I am curious, on the notes for collecting it says to leave the zone as untouched as possible. Let's say you get aggro and kill a mob or two, what are the consequences ? Should you start over or wait for the mob to spawn again ? Just curious on this.

Aggroing mobs has two consequences.

First, if you source in the collect, the pathing data will include the movement the mob made after it was aggroed.

Second, if you kill the mob and let it respawn, then the collect will include the data for both spawns of the mob and you will have duplicate data.

If it's just one or two mobs, I wouldn't worry about it. As I said in the other thread, the data produced by the collector is just your starting point for building a zone. Given you have to add all the loot, faction, fine-tune pathing etc, manually deleting a duplicate mob or two is not a big deal.

Thanks for answering, I am still learning.

I will try to stay invisible and out of aggro range.
