Title: Map Height Level
Post by: Hectate on 23 May 2009, 18:09:19

Is there a way to tell what height level a cell is from the map editor? Currently there doesn't seem to be any good way to find out where the waterline is on my Archipelago map except by trial and error.

The brightness of the cell shows its height.  Darker colors are lower elevation and brighter colors are higher.

I think he means the EXACT height. At this moment that is impossible.
Maybe they should implement a number system you can enable to see te tile height.

Yes, I was referring to exact cell height.
I was thinking the number thing too. Maybe similar to how Gimp has the little status bar at the bottom that shows the X and Y position in the image, among other data. A similar status bar with X Y and Z would be useful. I know various people are working on upgrading the map editor and map format itself.
Thanks.
