varangy -> Diagonal deployment zones (11/26/2018 7:54:07 PM)
I want to do a river crossing, but I dont want to have enemy units on my side of the river. Can we have in the future diagonal deployment zones? See the attached picture [image]local://upfiles/60976/89EF0BC3D8B9498EA856C13D59D5A57D.jpg[/image]

exsonic01 -> RE: Diagonal deployment zones (11/26/2018 8:14:19 PM)
You can make a mission with increased map size, and introduce no-go zone diagonally, left top corner and right bottom corner. Then you could adjust deploy zone area, to set up the mission following your plan. Regarding "how can we create / edit no-go zone and water crossing zone from zones.bmp", I'm also one of the person who is really curious about that. For some reason, no one is answering for that question [&:]

Yes, the no-go zones are the way to do it. I updated the advanced scenario editing post to include Gimp instructions: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4559981

Can you lay mines and wire diagonally.

zacklaws -> RE: Diagonal deployment zones (11/28/2018 9:27:59 PM)
But if you lay the mines in a zigzag fashion, you will find that units will pass through the diagonals and I have never seen a vehicle destroyed when they do that. Its always best to double up and make the 2 grid square deep where you have your zigzags. Just to highlight the weakness you have in a zigzag minefield and Anti Tank obstacles. 1st picture anti tank obstacles one APC is just going along the edge of the diagonal to exploit the diagonal in the AT obstacle and the two APC's to the left also passed through the diagonals:- [image]local://upfiles/23637/90B6864526974E24B3FE0F932AC296F3.jpg[/image]

One APC cutting through the diagonal in the minefield following one that has exploited it already and one APC to the left about to exploit the AT obstacle, once again through the diagonal. Quiet canny the AI at being able to find the weak spot so those zigzags need filling in. But note the APC that tried to drive through the minefield along the edges of the grid squares, his luck ran out. [image]local://upfiles/23637/2E950E73E89446FDA9601F4C89063721.jpg[/image]

This is zigzag. [image]local://upfiles/25564/EBFF22C8FFCA452CBC0BE04DA24C69EE.jpg[/image]

This is why I like hexagons more than squares.

What if you want to be able to operate in this region, but not allow set up in it at game start?

Blond_Knight -> RE: Diagonal deployment zones (11/30/2018 6:29:57 PM)
Currently I guess your only option would be to make a bigger map.

After that we can think about adding new zone types.

No go zones could use some kind of a new zone like no-start zone.
