A2 Map Height Question

[Rifraf]

I didn't want to resurrect Majestic's old thread about map heights, but have a question. When you change the values in the RTS_CFG regarding all the combat_ceilings and then go into a new or stock map does the game automatically squish or put everything in place properly without problems? Do you have to do any editing to the stock maps themselves to compensate? I've always wanted lower map elevation like in FO, but wasn't sure if it'd mess things up. Majestic stated in his thread that it worked, but just wanted further details as I won't go as low as the numbers he posted. Probably just around 200-250

After such a change Armada does not automatically push the map objects higher/lower - you'll have to edit the maps individually if you want the objects to change height

Some stock map objects, like Latinum Nebulae, will probably be too low for freighters to mine them.

Thanks D_N. One of the sub goals of my mod was to redo all the stock maps to near zero elevation like FO so your info tells me I've got a lot of work to do. At least the majority of them won't need much if any work.
