    How to change orientation of the map in GEM Editor?

    Is there any way to turn whole map in GEM Editor?
    Help me, please.

    Re: How to change orientation of the map in GEM Editor?

    As far as I know... No. Sorry, but the only way to go in these cases is either to turn each entity etc manually (with the C and Z keys) or to redo the map from scratch...

    Why is it so important to have the map facing a certain direction? Not all battles took place starting at the Western edge running to the Eastern edge of the map (just an example).

    Have you thought of just swapping the spawnpoints(map_points)?

    EDIT:

    Now I'm talking about 180* rotation.

    Re: How to change orientation of the map in GEM Editor?

    Now i've got some trenches and rest of map turned to north, but I want them turned to west because of historical facts - this map is for Death and Glory 1939 mod. It's battle of Mokra, so the line of defence have to be turned to the west. I want 90* rotation. How can I do that?
    Maybe there is a way to change the direction of morning sun (F6 mode) and signs on minimap?

    I think the only way is to select all entities, hold "C" and rotate.

    And then you have to remake the polygons, heights and textures.

    Re: How to change orientation of the map in GEM Editor?

    Maybe there is something in scripts?
    I have solved one difficult problem using them. But as I remember there was nothing about whole map orientation . I will add some atmosphere and maybe I will look for way to change the light direction and minimap settings ? But I rather think that I won't find such files to change those settings.
    Is there any one who can solve this problem in other way than turning all of entities?
    Help me, please.

    Huraaa!!!I've found how to do so!
    In mission making mode hit F9 and then change "azimuth".
