Why the choice of ZERO as the starting number?

"OK Bob you drop on Hangar one"
"This is Mike, I thought I was droping on the first hangar?"
"You do Mike. You're dropping first, on the first Hangar"
"But you just told Bob to drop on Hangar 1"
"Hangar 1 is the second Hangar."
"Whuh?"
"Hangar one is the Second Hangar"
"What hangar is the first Hangar?"
"Hangar 0"
"So Zero is 1?"
"No, Zero is first, not one."
"Whuh?"
"Oh crap we missed the drop!"

Changes since last release:
    - Matched all target identifiers to in-game object numbers so the downtime (.dt) command can be utilized and target hits can be confirmed.

Hitech's object numbering begins at 0.  But I can see exactly what you're saying happening

As long as you all are using the same map with the same identifiers, what difference would numbering make? Could start numbering at 42 and it should still be clear enough.

because now players can reference 8exactly* what hanger is going to be down *exactly* how long.  I too wondered "why", but once I realized that hanger numbers start with 0, it makes perfect sense.

I think you did it right. I was just being funny.

Much appreciated Pand, Thank you!

i think on some I've seen them 90. But I could be thinking of the diagonal line that shows up in the Icon on the Arena Map. That seems to rarely be aligned with the runway. But I should scout it.

thanks.

Great work!!

Yes I have run into a small number of 90 degree V bases.  Like maybe 1 on a large map.  Will post info when I run into one again.

Numbering of game objects is in Base sixteen. (Or HEX for short)

so

0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -A -B -C -D -E -F.

Just image you have eight fingers on each hand.
