tigercrash Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I've had TacOps 4 for several days, and enjoying it, except for one or two questions about the maps. Is it not possible to enlarge the maps on the screen? Several scenarios have maps that are only 2"x3" on my screen, with tiny units...difficult to see and painful on the eyes. I've tried searching in the guide but I can't find any info on "zooming in" on the maps, or enlarging them on my screen. Also, are any of the maps 'topo' maps, like the picture in Battlefront's site? Haven't found any yet. Thanks! tigercrash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH TacOps Developer Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 >Is it not possible to enlarge the maps on the screen? Not from within TacOps. However, you can use Windows or Macintosh OS features to change your monitor resolution before running TacOps. TacOps will then accept whatever setting you selected via your OS. Windows - use the display control panel or the desktop right click properties settings feature. Macintosh - use the Monitors control panel. >Also, are any of the maps 'topo' maps, like the picture in Battlefront's >site? Haven't found any yet. Windows: Use the Windows Start menu to select "Guide - Maps" in the Start menu item list for TacOps. Or navigate to the TacOps folder and double click on the file named "Guide - Maps.pdf". Macintosh: Navigate to the TacOps folder and double click on the file named "Guide - Maps.pdf". That file has a miniature image - usually page size - of each TacOps map. For example - Map230 through Map245. The maps that use scans of topo maps as background art are in the folder "TacOps/TacOps Extras/More Maps". At present there are no solitaire/AI scenarios that use those maps. They were done for human vs human play using one of the following custom scenario templates. Custom Scenario CA CMBG Custom Scenario US Army Custom Scenario USMC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are running any version of windows other than NT, look in Programs > Accessories > "Accessibility" for Maginfier or just do a search on your system for 'magnify.exe'. Enjoy the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Also, there is a menu item that will let you change the size of the units on the map. The default setting is the middle size, with really tiny boxes and larger units as other options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
