Default Map View

Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:44 pm

Hi chaps, in the Pontiac scenario I would like the map to default to an area around fort Pitt or fort Detroit. When you start a turn the map view is centered around a less important area to the south east of fort Pitt. Is there a way of starting each turn with the map centered on an area of most interest?

I thought MapOffSets might regulate this but I'm having no luck.
Cheers, Chris

Mapoffsets will do it when you compile the scenario.

Easiest way I've found to set it up:

Whatever 'view' you have on the map at the moment you save your setup from the editor will become the 'starting view'. :)

I then usually open the .scn file with a text editor, find the offset I just saved, then enter it in the DB spreadsheet for the next time. :blink:

Works :D

P.S. The value appears twice. do both
