Position of troops within a tile

Post by Petcat »

Is there any way of changing the position of troops within a square?
Currently troops form a cross within a tile at the limit of 8, could this be changed into a line formation from the normal position or is it hard coded.

Formation control isn't possible in BA2 IIRC, sorry!

Yes, it would be very nice to be able to control the cross formation, and maybe make it something else. Is there any way we can change this?

Is this stored in a .DAT file or some other hidden script somewhere? I am trying to make some changes to Pike & Shot or Hell, and want a single line of gun armed troops. That die off, and if I import a .s3f file that contains many models already in it, it takes a lot of memory.

Thanks
