pad152 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Editor Issues Scrolling There is no scroll bar or data scrolling in the unit screen "Activated Troops", this wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have to purchase a Battalion and then delete all the units, except for the one you want and then have all the deleted units show up in the Activated Troop screen. Saving and Overwrite It would be nice to set all of the original missions, campaigns, quick battles to read only so you don't accidently over write them, helping keep the original game content! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Scrolling: There is no need for a scroll button. An entire Battalion collapses to one line. Purchase a Battalion note the plus sign. Click on it and the battalion brakes out into companies...Now it's a minus sign click on it and you are back to one line again... Saving and overwrite: While I wouldn't mind an idiot reminder before I exit the editor, I don't see the need for a read only file. When I want to work on an existing file that I otherwise want to keep in tact I just re-name the file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pad152 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yes, there is a need for a scroll, if the units exceed the size of the window, you can't access the units that slip below the window. It's not too hard to fill the Activated Troops screen because it fills up with deleted (unless) units! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roter Stern Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I second the scrolling issue - with enough top-level formations added to the Activated units window, even if all are completely collapsed, it is impossible to access the subordinate formations at the very bottom of the list. Case in point: … units of the 4-Plt C-Coy are not all displayed, despite every possible formation collapsed. And no, this does not depict an implausible Division-sized force, in fact most of those top-level formations only have one or two units – it’s just so happens that you can’t get Heavy MGs, 5 RPG teams, and a BRDM-ATGMs, etc all under a single formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarjen Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I second the scrolling option too. Or you could just add the squad/single option from the old CM: games. Second thing is, that once you deleted the troops you dont want to use in the scenario there is no way to reenable them back. So you have to add another force from the available troops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarjen Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Another one. Its not possible to dismount troops inside UAZ-469 vehicles. The option is greyed out and the troops are not selectable during the deployment in the editor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete works both ways here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'd like to see a direct button to go from the 2D MAP to the 3D preview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
