Thomm Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hi all! Lately I created a mod that shows accurate contour lines on a RTS map! I cannot tell you how satisfying it is to *really* understand the lay of the land without fiddling around at eye level! You really find much better, logical avenues of approach from bird-eye view, and also detect crests, hilltops, etc. on the first glance. Furthermore, logical rallying points emerge in the form of natural "basins", which can be detected right away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 That looks like the sequel game to GI Combat, can't remember what its name was, Squad Assault perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 The crowd erupts as Lars chips a half squad out of the MG bunker, over the bridge, onto the green, and sinks them into the foxhole from 150 meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Very good. Perhaps the only thing I would change is to make the lines a little finer. This mainly for aesthetic reasons, to make it look more like a real topo map. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael May be a case of bmp warpage....getting single pixel width lines to work on stretched skins is notoriously unreliable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DASman Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think it would look much better if the contour lines where at 5 meter intervals rather than 1 meter. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
