-And the range finder seems inaccurate against large+ tokens when approaching from all quadrants except (-x,y). Example below.
the issue with that is that we look at the centre of the token NOT the edge. so with large(r) tokens you can have an offset. We *could* try to do an edge to edge calculation but I'd much more prefer a centre to centre, this also omits the issue with assymmetrical tokens that are rotated. Next to that it would require yet another layer of calculations...
How about the option of just subtracting 1*Distance Per Cell from anything that's in the other three quadrants for the purpose of the info displayed? It seems counter-intuitive to have the detector giving distance information that doesn't match up to how MT calculates distances (i.e. "The detector says they're not in range, but my attack macro says they are!")


Is there a new version of this available? There seems to be a lot of improvements since the last version was posted.

Here you go. Try the unofficial, almost entirely functional, pre-release, not quite polished, beta version.

it appears that dropbox closed off yet another usefull functionality, at this rate im wondering when we are required to pick our files up with a USB stick at the local dropbox store... the direct download no longer works, which means I probly have to once more go through all my links to check if they still work...FTS. Change the last 1 to 0 and the link works, but reverend already created a new topic, better to look there: viewtopic.php?p=277070#p277070
