Gridlines - tagcm - 05-08-2007 I remember reading in a post somewhere by POS that he was able to turn on gridlines in CM (not sure which one). I have since searched the manuals and games of CMAK and CMBB without finding grids. Is it a mod? Can anyone help? TIA RE: Gridlines - PoorOldSpike - 05-08-2007 Grids can't be toggled on or off, but who'd want to turn them off anyway? If there's one MUST-HAVE mod, its grids.. ;) You need several to cover grass, snow, steppe, sand, arid etc.. The following procedure worked fine a few months ago, they may have updated it or added to the list since then but have a go - Go to CMMODS, click "Cmbb mods" > "Search Cmbb" > Type in "gridded" (not grid) in the "word" box (leave others blank), and you'll get a list of 14 grid mods. I use several including these - High-res Gridded Grass/ Steppe/ Deep snow/ Light Snow, all by Captain Wacky, and Gridded Woods and Fields by SRG. For CMAK, do "Cmak mods" > "Search Cmak > type in "grid" (not gridded) and 14 should come up. I use Cmak grass and steppe grid by Caffino, and New Africa Grid by Limey. I also use a Cmak gridded woods but I forget where I got it from.. There are more than one grid title of course, its a matter of trial and error to find which you like best, I like the ones with very faint lines best.. RE: Gridlines - Copper - 05-08-2007 Yes it is a mod... go to www.cmmods.com and search for gridded terrain. You need to download it and extract it into your .bmp folder. RE: Gridlines - Mike Abberton - 05-08-2007 The grid lines are not a native feature of CM. They are available as modded terrain tiles. I think there are several varieties available on the cmmods website. Others might be able to direct you straight to the files. RE: Gridlines - Mike Abberton - 05-08-2007 Damn, I typed too slow and two people beat me to the draw. ;) RE: Gridlines - tagcm - 05-08-2007 Thanks to all RE: Gridlines - McIvan - 05-08-2007 If you like ones with very obvious lines, do a search on CMMODS for Rocketman....he made some that seem to be very popular, although they're not my personal cup of tea. RE: Gridlines - Copper - 05-08-2007 I agree I think Rocketmans are a bit too 'in yer face'... I prefer more subdued ones.
