  • #963 — [Study] Solving the Perception Bottleneck

Objective

Pre-extract all static game data from Morrowind's ESM files into queryable databases, and build a path grid navigation graph for autonomous movement.

Scope

  • Use tes3conv to convert Morrowind.esm → JSON
  • Extract and store in SQLite (~200MB):
    • All NPC records: name, location, class, faction, disposition
    • Dialogue trees: topic → response text + conditions (faction, disposition, variable checks)
    • Path grid nodes: per-cell waypoint coordinates + edges
    • Quest stages and objectives
  • Build NetworkX graph from path grid data for A* pathfinding
    • Nodes = path grid points, edges = walkable connections
    • Cross-cell edges for exterior→exterior and door transitions
  • Implement dialogue pre-evaluation: at load time, compute which dialogue topics are available for each NPC given player state
  • Target: O(1) lookup for any NPC/dialogue/path query

Key Design Notes

  • Pre-computation is one of the three dominant design decisions in the paper
  • Agent loads into game already knowing every NPC location, dialogue tree, and path grid connection
  • ~200MB SQLite + NetworkX graph, pre-loaded at startup
  • Eliminates runtime discovery entirely for static game data
