• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

A cool way to plot your kills: Google Maps!

Quite a cool way to plot your kills, on Google maps :) After a battle, exit CFS2 and open up the generated "Events.log" file. Go to google maps (you'll need to be logged in to your Google account) at https://www.google.com/maps , click the triple bars at the top-left of the screen, click "Your Places", and then "Maps".

Click "Create Map", and in the search bar paste in the lattitude and longitude of each of the "lla=" entries from your "Events.log" file. Leave out the commas, and the elevation part designated with a plus sign.

e.g.

The line:

lla=N9* 28.67', E138* 5.76', +627

... paste in the Google maps search bar:

N9* 28.67' E138* 5.76'

... and click the search magnifying glass icon.

After the green location marker pops up, click it and then click "+ Add to map".

Do this for each of the kill locations, and you'll wind up with something like this -> https://www.google.com/maps/@9.5178...3!4m2!6m1!1s1HpXkzss7rcmvXmhZ3RJZg5dSN6hrioYj ... quite cool :)
