Templer Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Why the tactical maps in the briefings are not as aligned to the north? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) See if you can figure it out. Hint: it's not just for ****s and giggles. Edited May 21, 2015 by JonS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Veteran Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The slot in the editor for the various pictures of the briefing maps has a specified maximum size and that size is not square but rather rectangular in shape, although it varies from briefing pic map to briefing pic map. The pictures can run left to right for approximately twice as far as up and down IIRC. With this limitation in mind, if your battle map is longer north to south than it is east to west and you don't rotate the picture for the briefing, then the briefing map will look squashed and will be less useful to the player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Tip: Tilt your head 90 degrees either CW or CCW until the north arrow magically faces up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folkie Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 or you could spin your monitor around until the map is pointing north 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 This is why I try to make all my own game maps be horizontally long rectangles... ..but then in the TacMap I could just have north point downwards to appease the Australians? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
