Still shows high hills/slopes surrounding all buildings, only the "hills/slopes" graphics aren't showing (shows flat). Height values can be seen from the red info bar.

How exactly did D0 and C0 become vehicles?

This is all going down a rabbit hole I am not the least bit interested in pursuing at this time or in the near future. I am far too busy trying to get this patch out. It is what it is, live with it

I did not have time to get round to building height this year - probably next year I will put in a building height map layer for maps, which the code can read and so not reduce "tall" buildings back to the "default height" for buildings in the bit of code that fixes up maps data.

Thank you Andy!

Don, please take this height building off your mind for now, I am not expecting any height building this year anyway, so... regarding units becoming vehicles, I believe it has something to do with your new OOB (for the new patch) which is then translated to some other units on my old OOB. Probably.

Cheers!

Hahahaha.. oh well.. I'm really sorry!
But I'm not fully at fault here Don, this is SPMBT forum for pete's sake

Well at least nothing serious. I was truly afraid this unit-changing probelm might postpone the patch at least 1 year


Anyway, loaded the scen into SPWW2 and slopes are still around all building, without the slope/hills graphics, same as my past experiences.

Cheers!

Years ago, we had a thread discussing placing troops within the building such that the building provides some "cover" as well as elevated LOS. I seem to recall, the code was in such a mess (we used to call it "spaghetti code") that it was deemed to difficult or not worth the effort at that time.

Smokes, lower buildings, lower terrain elevations, and trees, all can be overcome when climbing such high rise buildings. I have tested it in two PBEM with these buildings.
Interesting ideas to increase the LOS, especially useful in Urban Operations (UO) scenarios. I envision scouts and FOOs placed on high buildings and snipers as well.
