ladlon 10 Posted March 18, 2010 I know how to read normal elevation maps, but I'm a bit confused about ARMA2 ones... 1) Are there no actual elevation numbers on/by the contour lines? How do you tell if an area is a hill or a valley? 2) I DID notice some numbers along the coast. What are those? Are those elevation numbers? Granted, I haven't really studied the entire map, but noticed this on my last session.... figured I'd ask, since I'm in the neighborhood. I suspect I'm going to look at the map again, and suddenly feel really stupid I asked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt.Spoetnik 10 Posted March 18, 2010 Hi ladlon, the hills are shown on the map by their heightnumber on top off them and when you zoom in you will see the contours off the hill, and some are even marked with little triangle's and number, cya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladlon 10 Posted March 18, 2010 Ah... Okay, I guess I wasn't zoomed in enough or something... I just never seemed to have seen any numeric markings up to now (other than those ones on the shore). Half the time I'm looking at the 'hills' and wondering if it's a hill or a valley... No biggie... Just would get me one step closer to knowing what the heck I was doing! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noubernou 77 Posted March 18, 2010 There are no contour line elevations, only hill numbers. The contour line elevation changes as you zoom in and out. At the closest zoom it is 1 meter graduated every 5 meters with a major contour line. I honestly right now can not remember the different levels. ArmA1 I believe it used to show you. It'd be really nice if they didn't change at all (you zoom out you just see the lines bunched up more) but I assume thats done for performance reasons as well as game play. If you are not using ACE2 check out my mapplus mod in my sig because it will help you see hill numbers and major contour lines much, much, much more easily!
