Anyone have any idea how to "flatten" the battle maps!?

The scale modifier would change the height scale for the battlemaps. To make the height map changes take effect, apparently you need to delete data\world\maps\base\map.rwm and data\world\maps\base\map_heights.hgt edit the map_heights.tga and re-load the game. It should re-build those files upon load.

Well he is the person who allowed us all to edit textures and models.

It's good the CA have decided to help with modding. We can just hope that one day they release the hardcode

We can dream, we can dream

Ok, I'll try it.

Let us know if it works. I tried both the modifier, and the change in map_heights.tga/deleteing map.rwm and .hgt Neither worked, but i had done them indepentently of one another.

Edit; still doesn't work. The game CTD's when going to a tactical map. There is a nano second flash of a winter landscape (even in summer), which is 2/3rds the size of the screen, as if it is in windowed mode.

same ehre. Crash and things jsut don't load up.

We simply need access to the file he references above that dynamically shapes the ground- but we DON'T with the packer because of some time stamp issue.. so we have to delete it. Grrrr
