How did you generate your preview image? I'm looking for some way of making mine a bit more stylish.

I had some similar problems with an SRTM heightmap of Fort Benning, GA. I found that a small Gaussian blur applied to the elevation data in QGIS doesn't distort the elevation very much, and makes a great deal more terrain accessible to Armored Brigade.

Thanks!

Are the day length values assumed to be for the 1st, or for some other point during the month? Does it matter?

I haven't come across a description of what the values for terrain and temperature mean. Is there a key available?

<r> I came across <LINK link="http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem3.html#images"><s>[link=http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem3.html#images]</s>this dataset<e>[/link]</e></LINK>, produced by Jonathan de Ferranti, which has some advantages over raw SRTM data.

Here it is.

(Thanks for the guide, by the way—I wouldn't have gotten half as far as I have without it.)

<t> I gave it a try, but I'm not quite sure how to export the elevation data from QGIS so that ConvertHeight can process it correctly. It doesn't seem to process GeoTIFF files, and if I convert a (grayscale) GeoTIFF to a bitmap, the resulting ConvertHeight output is incorrect, using colors which don ...

<t> I'm working on Fort Benning at the moment, which is ironically turning out to be terrible tank country. Like a moron, I chose a 40km region and said, "This shouldn't be too hard!" I'm almost done with the first 15km square, and I think I'll put out an initial release with that much sometime this ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I think the way this works is as the tooltip suggests - the game does not show absolute height, but instead will take the lowest point of the map as 0 regardless of its actual height (colour) as per the height map. I'm not sure exactly why this is done - but I suspect it may ...

<t> I have a heightmap bitmap I generated from NED data that I'm using for a map I'm working on. Inspecting the bitmap file generated from Dmitriy's QGIS style file, it seems accurate, in the sense that a point that my source data says is 57 meters above sea level has the color value (57,2,16 ...

<t> Just a quick heads-up for all of my fellow Linux gamers: wine has a pretty poor track record with AGE engine games, but recent versions of wine (1.9.12 and greater) now support the AGE engine, so you can see unit cards on the map now. You may have to disable a bunch of DLL overrides in winecfg ...

<t> This is excellent news. I was planning on running a real-time AAR at my website starting on December 7th, but now, I'm going to put it off until next year to give you guys some time to work. The updates you've made sound great, and I expect you'll do even better.<br/>

As always, if you ...

<t> A couple of times in my current game, I've realized I forgot to move a task force in an invasion force or something, I've had to replay a turn, and I've noticed that results are the same up until the new move. What that suggests to me is that the seed for the random number generator is known ...

For those of us without Excel, I spent a few hours tweaking the macros so that they work with LibreOffice, and put it up here: <URL url="http://many-words.com/pacific-war/pacwared23.ods">http://many-words.com/pacific ...

Rich,

Feel free to shoot me a PM or email, or respond in this thread (to which I'm subscribed), if you'd like to have pacwared mirrored with the rest of the things I'm mirroring.

Is there a tool I can use to see things like aircraft type statistics (I gather the ones in the manual are out of date) and aircraft factory types/activation dates (namely, is there a way to top off the Devastator or Vildebeest pools)?

Here's another one: a Philippine unit called Guerrilla Army just arrived in the Eastern US base. Can it be moved somehow?

Two more about replenishment TFs: do they only work for targets at a base? Is there any way to replenish a TF at sea, or do you have to put in somewhere? Do carriers receive replacement aircraft while in port, or only through replenishment TFs?
