rocketman Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I tinkered a bit in the editor and was struck by how the elevation calculations now are done "on the fly" and pretty quickly too. Like when you drag a line of elevation points and you see the calculations while working. In the other games (not patched yet) you don't get any calculations until you release the mouse button and then it usually takes a few seconds to calculate. It is quite time consuming on large maps with lots of elevation changes. So if this makes it way into the other games I will be a happy man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Edit- I missed the part about the mouse release on first read. Yes, this does look new, and welcome. Edited April 3, 2019 by benpark 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubokii Boy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Will these faster elevation calculations in the editor also impact gameplay i wounder ? It has been recomended for as long as i can remember to try and limit the directly specified elevations tiles in the editor because of their negativ impact on FPS...hopefully these recomendations are now obsolete if elevation calculations are now faster... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thought crossed my mind as well, but more in the line of load times. But let’s hope for both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 After patching the other games I don't see this "calculation on the fly". Which surprised me as I thought the editor was identical in all games tech wise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howler Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 FWIW, this title remains the fastest in terms of response and load times. I'm hoping this will spread to other titles as they receive new modules rather than simply a patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
