@Arjuna & simovitch

Thanks for the info. I'll put it to good use.

<t> Probably you have good reasons as to why not letting those tools out. <br/>
Is it maybe just that you are not satisfied with the suitability of UI of the current editors fot the masses. Or is the reason deeper, perhaps deepseded in the fact that correctly modellig weapons and units is a complex ...

<r> I did some testing as you suggested. Results are interesting.<br/>

Created map:<br/>

Regarding gov. contracts<br/>
Well for all the money spent by armies on different contracts and such (alot of them useless serving only their own purpose or pockets of its patrons)... I just don't get it how Panther isn't swamped in contracts for sim making that would actually ...

<t> Estabs cant be modified (at least not with the tools available with the game). I've learnt so much so far from the threads in both forums. <br/>
<br/>
But how does Panther team makes/modifies estabs? Hopefully they have some sort of editor, or is the whole thing hardcoded by hand with some ...

You say I need to cut valleys in by going in, make the vally and then retrace as near as possible the original line that lead me to the valley. So if I understand then correctly. When doing the elevation calculations, the engine will see two lines very close together and ...

<r> Made another big layer. This one is the first over base.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Is there an easy way of making a valley on a large polygon? Something similar like subtracting from polygon.<br/>

@Prince

Is this map finished...?

I'd like to give it a spin this weekend.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>
I accidentally move objects or layers all the time, perhaps dozens of times on my map with the escarpment. <br/>
<br/>
One thing that I've observed is that it rarely (perhaps never) occurs when I'm working with an end point, which is to say that it only happens when I go ...

<t> It worked.<br/>
<br/>
THANK YOU.<br/>
<br/>
Question I added to my previous post after I made it. I think you missed it because of that.<br/>
<br/>
"Is it possible to disable mouse 'grab and move' command for the whole contour polygon? Sometimes when I am making a new contour and am ...

<r> I carefully inspected the map again. There are only 2 big 'islands' of hills that go over 1100m (Image below.). Since only those two areas have peaks over 1100m, I decided to keep 60m contour layer. And as you said Arjuna, its pointles to model such heights with precision. In addition I lowered ...

<r> Below is a few days work (around 2 hours per day)...<br/>
<br/>
Notice the large 1st contour. Hate that. When I was making it, it was a pain.. It seemed no end to that one. I suppose i should look at this more like an adventure... You never know where a contour can take you.<br/>

I would recommend option 2 as well. What are the contour intervals on your source map? If for example they are at 30m then you might consider using 90m elevations - ie every third contour. That way you can accurately follow ...

<t> I thought making an import tool was very time consuming too...just poked in that direction to see if it was on the table in the foreseable future.<br/>
<br/>
What kind of effort will it take to make CoTA map compatible with your next game installment BFTB? Will it suffice to just simply load ...

<r> Hello all. Great game.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I decided to make a map of a region that I live in (SE-Slovenia (or Dolenjska region as its called)). It was known as an important centre of partisan forces. I always wanted to make something like this, but never knew how or what tools to use ...

<t> 40 turns... thats huge. Thats 5 months.<br/>
Lightbulb turned on in my head again...<br/>
Another humble suggestion. Well if Curt can move that unit out of the marsh and is willing to disband it...then why not opening the encirclement and just letting him move it to a better prearranged ...

<r> That soviet marsh-hex unit bugs me probably just as much as Larry. Here are my questions:<br/>
1. Curt cant move it can he?<br/>
2. If he could move it the unit would be toast a while ago...(since then u could attack it)<br/>
3. Can he disband it even though it is stranded?<br/>
<br/>
My ...

<t> This game got wings again...extremely fascinating evolution of events.<br/>
Usually i wake up in the morning, grab newspaper from mailbox, make tea and look at Larrys Fite AAR. Lately i check AAR first and then go about doing other things...hehe.<br/>
If I may...Larry i hope u dont mind...i ...
