For many years ive often wondered why base numbers arent in order. Like on the current map in LWO. base 112 is in 17.8. base 113 is in sector 3.8. the complete opposite side of the map. This has confused me for many years. Can someone from HTC staff please explain this to me so my brain will stop hurting

:old:

And to add. Its very confusing to the new guys as well. most if not all of them dont know the .move command. I figure they spend 30 mins looking for a base like i did when i was new (and still do at times :D)

It is not HiTech's fault but whoever creates the terrain the map is used on. Usually the map maker will plan where to put things then see the final product and see an empty space and go back and fill in a new field there. Or the map maker will go through and place all small airfields, then all medium, all large, all vehicle fields, all ports, all cvs and the end result is scattered numbers.

What's that funny .move XXX, command for? [ where XXX is the base number you want to go ]
Or, .goto [gameID] to goto a base where player gameID last spawned.

Go through all the maps... play connect the dots starting with with base no. 1 through base no. XXX. Look at the lines that you have placed connecting the bases- Do you see anything? :noid
Think "Davinci code" while you're doing this, only it's "HTC coad". You'd be surprised at what you think you may find. :rofl

They are numbered in the order the map maker placed them, you can't change them.
Also each reset the players start at the lowest numbered base their country has, so it is ideal to have certain numbers placed at the "front lines"

The field numbers can be changed. But considering most maps take so many hours to create, most map makers do not bother re-naming them for the sake of having order.

hmmmm...okay. But if it turns out to be some sort of hyroglyphic how can we be sure it is correct?
I mean, Hitech is lucky if he can spell his own name let alone some kinda important message type thingy!

I stared and went cross-eyed. Looks to me a Picasso like rendering of Jack Jumping Over the Candlestick.

A20-A28 looks like Andromeda.
A54-V53's and A27-A28's intersection looks similar to Cygnus.
If you make a triangle with A45, A37, and A52 being the vertices, the interior space looks like the Triforce.
Interpretation paused.
I could go on and on. :salute

Why aren't 57 and 68 connected with a yellow line?
