Anyone up to test a few Tac Battle Tiles

Drop Box them up here and I will see what I can do for you Lee. An easy way to trigger their use would be ideal of course.

Should have a few up Sunday, just trying to make a different battle than a hill in an open area.

I will keep an eye.

How are you making them? Using the Cartographer's Table?

When I looked at the XML for the maps and I believe the tactical maps it seems to me it defined them in terms of size and number of sectors:

<DisplayName>T_Beach_Arctic_01</DisplayName>

<MapTileWidth>16</MapTileWidth>

<MapTileHeight>16</MapTileHeight>

<MapSectorWidth>1</MapSectorWidth>

<MapSectorHeight>1</MapSectorHeight>

<SectorTileWidth>16</SectorTileWidth>

<SectorTileHeight>16</SectorTileHeight>

<SpecialMap>0</SpecialMap>

I would imagine by this then that one only need change these values in order to change the size of the tactical maps - if you want to look at them more yourself look at them in data/maps/tacticalmaps for more reference info.  If I recall correctly there is also a similar set of instructions in one of the core XML files that may be used to define sector size so I would at first try sticking to the standard sizes.  I also believe based on what I have looked at in the XML that all you will need to do to add new different tile types is define them like it does in the XML :

<TerrainTypeInfo>16,Tactical_Forest</TerrainTypeInfo>

Of course since I wasn't around in Beta perhaps this has already been covered and won't work.

It works to change the height and width but you will need to do this on a blank save and then add the appropriate xml to make it an tactical map. Pay attention to what type of land it is used for.
