smershbloke Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Can anyone direct me to threads relating to help with determining elevation? I find it frustrating when you move troops somewhere only to still find that they suffer from reverse slope!:confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Viajero Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hmm, have you tried checking first with a Target order on the destination way point? Once you have planned the move, select the last way point with the mouse. You ll see it becomes a bit bigger. Then select "target" and plot a LoS line to wherever you need it. Although the line still comes from the original position the color code of the Los line it is indeed that of the destination way point you have selected. Maybe you were already aware of this, just checking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Using the scroll wheel on your mouse and getting down in the dirt helps. There is a mod which adds an overlaying grid on top of the terrain. That helps to show the undulations a bit better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Actually this game could REALLY use a function that overlays contour ines on the map. REALLY, REALLY USE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I once suffered from reverse slope, but I went to the doctor and he cleared it right up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I thought that the ability to view LOS from a waypoint was way too God-like, at first. However, the fact that it doesn't actually tell you what your units will be able to see when they arrive there mitigate this a lot GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 There is a mod up at the repository for contour lines. That should help you espically when zoomed out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smershbloke Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 will the mod work with the demo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
