[0909] SL spotting markers don't reliably place
Description:
When trying to spot with SL and place markers: Firstly after selecting distance it seems you must repress Q to be able to place a marker that is on either side of the central choices of infantry, rallypoint, FOB and objective. DBzao shows this here: YouTube - PR v0.9 preview - Squad Leader Radio and Comms So that side OK, but about 60% of the time the markers are way way off, I have gone alone onto servers to practise and it's the same Steps to Reproduce: Try to place SL markers Screenshots / Video: No point but can try Tested On: All Maps Video Settings (if needed): All Medium AAX2 VGA: 9800GTm OS Vista 32 I see this problem very frequently with many SL's markers being wayoff. I have searched Squad Leader markers and radio .... |

Re: [0909] SL spotting markers don't reliably place
I did use it, but have added a few bits, I personally have three friends who have the same, one is win7 and the other IDK, on TG you can see the problems with SL markers appearing all over the place.
It is a great feature and I think this induces reluctance to use it. |

Re: [0909] SL spotting markers don't reliably place
Try having a small step forward before placing markers. They are placed where your body is directed, not where you're aiming at.

Thanks for that tip....I was experiencing the same trouble that Ploddit and others were having, and trying the 'small step' then place marker on a local server is working for me, will have to give it a go on a live server. Once again thankyou! | |

Re: [0909] SL spotting markers don't reliably place
Yep, that's the solution. I was going to make a post about it, with a video tutorial explaining the issue, but didn't get to do it yet.
But you can see me doing it all the time in my vids, for example this one right in the beginning: I'm even walking forward while spotting, but just a simple tap in the W key towards the direction you are facing should be enough to swing your body that way. |
