Very Large Fields in 2.43.1e

(1/4) > >>

EricL:
Previous versions support 12 field sizes, the largest being 96000 X 72000.

2.43.1e supports 100 different field sizes.  The first 12 are the same as before.  The largest field now has dimensions of 800000 X 600000.

Very large fields are interesting for many reasons not the least of which is that they can provide a degree of geographic isolation for evo sims.

shvarz:
That's a large field.... Any reason for providing a user with 100 different options for a field size? Sounds intimidating and unnecessary. I'm actually more interested in non-regular field sizes - with one dimension being much larger than the other. Those could be used to create very large and shallow ponds or very deep wells. That would be more interesting for different ecosystems.

EricL:
It was pretty easy to do it this way and I wanted to keep the current field size options, but perhaps I'll change it so as to drop the number of choices but increase the size non-linearly beyond size 12...

Custom aspect ratios adds another degree of complexity.   Shouldn't be too hard to do.  That's next.

EricL:
Okay, I changed it.  Only 25 field size options now.  First 12 are same as always but they double every size increase beyond that.

Largest field is now 2496000 X 1872000  

bacillus:
Could that cause problems with the xpos and ypos variables, seeing they are restricted to 32000?
