17.10 found almost every animal turn-back was for a climb, where the navmesh (40-45 degrees) is stricter than the step's 1.2 per metre. So the frame-sized test was refusing a few centimetres of steep ground: a pebble a walker steps across. It also refused sooner the faster the frame rate. wl_climb takes the ground half a metre ahead along the way the step actually goes. climb_test holds it at 60 and 240 Hz: a pebble is crossed and a wall is not. Both tests fail under the old rule. wildlife 24/24.
