Well.. after using this for a few days now, I am seeing some frustration.

1. Would it be possible, since dynamic zoom is out of the question, to set the Radar scale at server start up? like a config line command?
I find it extremely difficult to use the 1:8 world size map. When your editing a 30x30 area in the main window, viewing the entire map at once is little help, if any ... imho. its great for some large command options

2. Z heights... those of use that are used to WF, we can see all the Z's as an over layed numbers on the tiles. is there a way to add those Z numbers to a virtual layer type option? or maybe show the z's of a 8x8 box of tiles we choose at one time ? this one tile at a time Z is

3. Auto-Transition Option check box. Say you have a grass field. you place a single dirt tile down. with the auto transiton box checked it could auto place the adjacent 8 tiles for you. is this possible without 30,000 lines of code ?

4. Add a DONATIONS button to yourself You need money for this baby

Additional with a color for each z-level (from deep blue (low) to light blue (high) for example) would be perfect. I think that also WF has this feature.
So extreme height differences are easy to find & to fix.

Probably not. Maybe I will think about a radar like the ingame one, which just shows a bit more than the current visible area.

WF had only a top-down 2D view. But since CentrED draws the map in "full 2.5D", I don't see the point in this feature. It should be more than enough to see the Z value in the status bar.

3. Auto-Transition Option check box. Say you have a grass field. you place a single dirt tile down. with the auto transiton box checked it could auto place the adjacent 8 tiles for you. is this possible without 30,000 lines of code ?

Besides the coding effort, there would also be the need for a database or some kind of definition files. That would require a lot of time to build them ...

Hehe, nice idea
