Heightmaps: This is an area that is holding us back in the area of NPC movement and structure placement at the moment. We know a number of ways to implement this, but are searching for an efficient alternative to the methods we already know. Currently, we will be able to generate a huge file with all the z values for every x/y coordinate pair, but the problem we have is being able to manage all that data in a sensible way (save memory, fast request time etc). Educated idea's on how to manage huge heightmaps are welcome.

I'm not undertanding this really well. The client and the character is moving correctly on the map, following the surface correctly for every ups and down. So what prevents the Npcs and structures to follow the same rules?

Because the client doesn't send that data to prevent things like clipping or to determine if you can or can't shoot through a hill or a wall. It's all stored server side which is what they're trying to figure out.

Goosebumps is the word you're looking for, which is a pretty accurate description.

So the client knows the hight and not the server? Sorry my brain is slow this friday
The mini radar knows this at least, it shows the exact hight where I stand. So where does it find that info from? I mean, can't the npc (the server) read its current hight from the same location, like a copy of that on the server?

It already does, that syncs the players, but that doesn't help the NPCs.
