Fixing Battle Map Heights Community Project (for lack of a better title)

[alreadyded]

I am sure we have all been in a battle where you or your enemy have to march straight up the side of a mountain in the middle of a battlefield when you aren't even supposed to be on a mountain at all. Or try to march up it only to realize it is too steep and there is no pathway up... well I for one would like to see these game killers fixed. So next time this happens, or if you remember places already, get the coordinates or take a screenshot and post it here.

I will start it off and hopefully this will become a nice repository for campaign and battle map "height bug" locations, then they can all be fixed!

About the left-downard of Goblin town.
That one is just too steep.
A whole sheet of sheer cliffsides, only with a opening on the left.
(Playing with elves, attacking from GT towards to 'downward' of the MM.)
It's like forever to start the real fight, plus the pathfinding.

A general adjustment of all the battlemap relief/heights to more 'as it is supposed to be' will be part of 3.0 too.

Sorry for off-topic, but does every single square of the campaign map have a designated, distinctive battlemap? Are all the battlemaps manually made?

The battlemap is generated through the terrain/heights/other information. It is however possible to manipulate and even assign custom tiles.

The heights of the battle maps are determined by the campaign map tiles. Pure black is sea level, pure white is really high up. So you basically need plenty of grays in between for a nice non-steep slope.


I am glad to hear 3.0 will be adjusting those, but I doubt they will find them all without people pointing them out so I still encourage everyone to report locations.

yup

KnightsTemplar listed the most recent one that I had a problem with. How would I find the coordinates for a specific location?

Hold the mouse on a location, then press ~. Now type show_cursorstat, and it will appear.

Thanks! I'll be sure to post any bad battle maps I find.
