LP...hope you are well. Good to hear from you.
I take your point. It would need defensive bonuses allocated to that area of the map and it would look odd when attempting to reinforce/attack in that troops would suddenly pop up 20ft in the air. Lol. It might be doable but I fear that Alamo might be rembered for the wrong reasons. :laugh:
I also had a go at some forts using elevated terrain in TCM. Not sure it worked out.
Do we have any flat roofed buildings in the SoW releases?
As you say, SOWW sounds a step forward.
Yeah, like I mentioned.. Do-able, but not perfect..
Probably not worth the effort for such a one sided battle anyway. The other field engagements could be good fun though with some nice maps.

Crikey ... Hey, how is everything going!
I'm not too sure about any of the structures that have a flat roof, but I'm sure that you could take the Log graphic and construct one in the game.
As mentioned by LP you would have to give it an OnTopOf radius in the LS file.
Basically, you would change it like the example below:
From This:
[USER_VARIABLES]
INTEGER: Health
To This:
[USER_VARIABLES]
INTEGER: ONTOPOF

Hey D
Am well. Hope you're too.
Nice tip but prob one for the new engine.
Purchased some books this week so will start working on some OOBs this weekend.
Flags anyone? :dry:

Making progress. Spent some of the weekend pulling together an SR1 version of the San Jacinto OOB and some better flags. Unfortunately the Nap formations don't seem to work too well at that scale (unless I'm doing it wrong...upped the command structure and broke each regiment into companies)so I'll have to think about how best to make it work.
Anyway here's some more screenies of the normal scale OOB in action.
Plenty more to do.

Don't know how I missed this the other day. Looks like a complete conversion mod, with the screens and all. Looking excellent, Crikey.

Have you made a new map as well? I don't recognise those poplar trees.

It's an old map I was working on a few years ago. JB and I started pulling together some Spanish vegetation sprites.... poplars, vineyards etc. Far from finished I'm afraid. I may take another look at it but a lot of work needed.
