Is there different compass ? my map would rather looks like this

plasticAiredale · 05-16-2008, 01:48 PM

Both of those maps are wrong, I believe. Pain you need to flip that image horizontally (Nevermind just saw your edit). And Val you need to rotate your compass 45 degrees clockwise.

I went ahead and modified the cache HUD file to fix the compass. You can follow this link to download the new file you'll have to rename it to "EA_Revolution_HUD.png" and overwrite the cache version, but it should be correct. I don't know if this file will fail some checksum check and get overwritten, so use at your own risk. I am at work so it'll be an hour or so before I can test it myself.

Here is a cropped image of my corrections:

It's the same map Val. The land masses and locations of everything are the same. What has changed is that north is where 310 degrees used to be and the compass is inverted. I just re-oriented the map so that north is at the top. I also corrected the compass icon to show that west is really east and vice versa according to the in game bearing indicator.

It's just something for people who don't know the layout of Iia to refer to until the compass is repaired.

pA I have checked it and rechecked it. I'm certain it is correct.

plasticAiredale · 05-16-2008, 01:57 PM

Pain we got caught between edits of our posts. I agree your map is correct now as well.

I'm installing your compass fix now. I'll let you know how it goes.

Pain · 05-16-2008, 02:15 PM

zomg you broke my computer you're KOS!!!!

hehe not really. it works sweet man. nice job bro

plasticAiredale · 05-16-2008, 03:07 PM

Cool, yeah it works for me as well. Jason feel free to just include that file in the next update. As all I did was take the file from Feb 14th and changed the text on the compass part. Or let me know if you don't approve of this modification and I will remove the file.

By the way, anyone else interested in installing the "unofficial" compass fix, make sure you replace (and keep the old copy around) the file in the "mapsmodels" folder.

Ancient EA?
thats real funny.

Yeah its a shame the old map is no longer valid but its ok.

BlanK · 05-17-2008, 06:59 AM

Umm... How can either be right, because when you face north and turn right, you turn West ingame? at least I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Pain · 05-17-2008, 08:33 AM

On my map, if you face north and turn right you are facing west. I know that is counter-intuitive but the in game compass is flipped horizontally. Unless you use plasticAiredale's fix.

If Jason says he's including it in a future patch I'll change my map. Untill then it is right.

Jason implemented pAs fix into the game so I edited my map to reflect that.
