questions about scale

[knorke]

maybe try downloading the simple-chess map from file-universe, its size is 2x2.
then you can ie test how many solars you can fit on one side of the map (should be around 30)

Scale is mod dependant. If you want to make features for maps, the only guideline is consistancy betwee those features - you can make the commander as tall as a five story building, or only as tall as the doorway (engine collision detection issues aside)

That is the most sensical thing I have heard to date... at the end of the day it is really all on the mod and it's scale. Scale as far as features and maps... that is also dependant on the mod. I worked from the OTA scale... I used features and models in OTA to derive a relative scale. I then scaled everthing in my mod to that relative scale. While it is not precise to the quark, let alone 1/2 foot it is still better then nothing.
