uhu Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi folks! Is there a way to rotate maps in the map editor? I mean, N would be W, or E, and so on... Thanks, Uhu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 My only advice, take a screenshot of the map editor, print the picture out, turn it 90 degrees on your desk, and re-input the tiles and elevations line-by-line. If there's an easier way I'd certainly be glad to hear of it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Well, you certainly could change the directions, but (other than for historic "correctness") it doesn't really matter. The scenario will play out the same way regardless of which way is north, since there are no game functions that are fixed to the compass. It isn't as if the low sun in the East changes anything (in the game) for dawn scenarios. The only things that affect the game are friendly edges and wind direction. Those can be changed in the editor so that you get the behavior you want, even if it conflicts with the compass directions in the real world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhu Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Thanks Tom, But this is exactly the point, or the problem the friendly edges-bug! Because, no matter, how you set the friendly edges, the axis soldiers run always to west, and the russian soldiers always run to east! I should not explain, how LOL-situation is, when I play 'surrounded', the russians attacks from west, then the panicked soldiers run - not away from the battle: they run into my fire...
