Status: offline 		I'm experimenting with adding a game preference in the next patch that allows players to use height textures similar to those in the original (V1, not V2) ATB game maps. I've included a few screen shots below. For those who were having difficulty discerning heights with the green textures, are these clear enough? Are they too exaggerated?

Status: offline 		The screenshots look very good. From somebody who has always struggled judging height (me), this looks like a massive improvement. The good thing is - by making it a preference then players who prefer the original look can still be accomodated. Great stuff!
