If you want something similar to the previous placement mode, then try :placegrid 11. The placement will be offset by half a pixel compared to the previous mode, but they should line up in the same way relative to other objects placed with :placegrid 11.

what do you mean try, like is there an option to input those key words or are missing something completely.

There is, just hit the ":" key and you can type.

Can someone give a list of these key words for default client?

Can you tell us what is the default value? I tried 0 and 1 but they don't seem to be...thx

Therefore, when Ctrl-placing objects, the client will by default lock positions to eighths of a tile.

Thanks a lot! I didn't even know about this function before. It took some fiddling but I found that ":placegrid 22" got me the desired results. I assume it would be different for differently sized objects but I'm not sure. Either way, it's fantastic to know I will never be stuck again when it comes to placing things because I can simply fiddle with the placegrid number until I get it right. So again, thanks a lot for that info!

I would also be interested in learning other console commands if anybody knows of more or has a list available. The ring of brodgar wiki is incomplete. I just added :placegrid to its "console commands" page and would be happy to add more as I learn of them!

Sorry i'm a bit dumb....so i guess you mean the default is :placegrid 8. I'll try that, thx.

Did you check "How Do I?" for anything? Might be some in Bugs and The Wizards' Tower, too.

I mean.. it takes 3 seconds..

You didn't read the post I quoted. The list on the wiki is incomplete, thus the search for other commands.

True. Sorry, my bad
