Turning or or enabling the tile grid

Post by Bopeep »

Hi guys,

I have searched the forum for "turn on tile grid" and "enable tile grid" without any result that helps.

Have I miss something in the controls or interface that turns on the tile grid?

Thank you

There's a debug option that turns on the grid.

Edit: f4 -> show-tile-grid in case you haven't used debug options before.

There are 2 states: debug info shown (F5 been pressed) and always-shown.
For always show it's commonl to set show-fps, show-multiplayer-statistics, allow-increased-zoom, for most of your needs;
For debug screen its common to set (at least) show-tile-grid and some others (cheaty ones related to show-path, show-collisions and show-target e.g)
Then after checking boxes in necessary tabs with F4 you close F4 and press F5 to activate debug ui or just have those that are always-active all the time.
I propose you to set grid to debug as not to get too griidy :>

You can also use the mod Shortcuts for 1.1. Among other things it adds a shortcut that let’s you toggle the tile grid.
Mods: Shortcuts for 1.1, ick's Sea Block, ick's vanilla tweaks
Tools: Atom language pack
