to qualify that, i have patches of low jungle within a somewhat detailed rectangular high jungle terrain. this causes problems as i use map-wide locations with the high and low ground flags, is there any way to see what is low or high ground and solve the issue short of re-tiling everything jungle



None.

I don't believe there is, and low/high ground are specific to minitiles (the 16 pieces that make up a 32x32 pixel tile)

With the attached version of chkdraft you can shift click a tile, and the minitile elevations will show up at the top left of the read only properties

green = low ground
red = med ground
purple = med+high ground (dunno if this exists)
blue = high ground

gray = low ground & un-walkable

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

There's an scmdraft debug mode which shows you each tile's height as well, but it does it by number, so it's not as nice as chkdraft
I could have sworn there was a debug mode for this. Apparently not.

i've seen the debug mode, is there an explanation on how to read it?



None.

can't find any numbers in scmdraft that get drawn per minitile :(

updated chkdraft so it can display elevations across the whole map (so you don't have to check each tile), has a new color code as well (red high, blue med, green low, purp med+high, darkened colors when unwalkable)
