Map Coordinates - DFLW
Hi All, I'm very new to map creation and have downloaded StevieB's Z list and the version of the map editor that works
with XP too. Is there a way to turn on coordinates within the game so as to make item placement easier when for example it looks good in the map
editor, but in play, half the building is in mid air because of differences in ground elevation ? Also, is there a way to magnify the map in the
editor ? Thanks !

Thanks ! I figured it out after posting the question, but would still love to be able to turn on coordinates, although its not as imperative now that
I figured out the Plus/Minus Zoom feature, and how to center the map based on map coordinates. I still find that its really a matter of trial and
error trying to get buildings etc, positioned with the correct Z values.
