TS Grid Overlay

Endar

I was doing some work on making the missions when I realized it would be easier if I had a grid overlay of the tile system TS uses. That way I could see exactly where elements in the map should be placed. It took some work, but I got it done. The shapes in the image are sized to a map tile, so when you lay it out an image of a map or an overlay image, you can find out how to convert it correctly. You will need something like photoshop to use it, but it's simple to use. You just have to use some kind of effect to fill a layer with it and make the layer slightly transparent. Since no two neighbor cells have the same color, it is easy to select single cells.

I hope this helps.

I'm not really sure how this is related to making missions, but when it comes to converting or editing terrain, this might actually be pretty useful.
I'll give it a try when I need to convert or edit terrain again Smile
