Extremely relevant. There is no import plugin for .SMF file extension!

Assign same idle group unique numbers (use 99 and below, because #100 and after dont work for me) for npc and anchor. Pick show idle group option to view connected anchors and path order. If Hei deleted all waypoints, then you must generate new, or npc want move.
BTW: You can edit terrain in 3dsmax2009, i you want complete blank level.

Ok it looks like hei has removed all the way point and even though I have assign 22 as ai_idle group id and anchor01 group id but he still won't move , can you clarify what are the difference b/w way points ,ai area and anchors? do I have to setup all three in order to create patrol for ai npc?

BTW I have finally findout what is vis area and how to add portal in to it , you can setup an exterior house and setup interior house else where but if you make portal b/w them it will teleport you to that interior house. however the result are still messy.
