Mr.Dozer Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I was curious if you could program into the editor a way to edit scripts better. Like you select the tiles and go copy ( i mean a group of them like all of france) and past them somewere else. Or copy them and add them to a script instead of writing them in the editor. Same with changing country flags? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Those are the idea's that we need to hear much more of Mr.Dozer , i have been bringing this similar subject up time and time again. So if many of us start 'clamoring' for it, then hopefully,..."The Squeaky Wheel will then get The Grease!:. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Dozer Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 lol yeah. I came across this alot with my world map. I am having an issue with building south american and china coast. They look horribl on map but fine in the close up. So i wish i could use others coast select and put them over. I mean a main thing is of this game the editor so.. needs more lol. Also when i started i had to scrap alot of scrippts that just didnt stay with my transfer of making it bigger. So have to go back and reput them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Another one; the ability to view where the AI has allocated it's research and diplomacy chits would be GREAT for us scenario designers. As it is we have to guess what the AI is up to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with changing country flags? Mr. Dozer, when you are editing the tile layer simply select all the tiles you want to list in a particular script, after you are in the 'Select Item(s)' mode this can be done by left clicking or left clicking and dragging over all the tiles you need, and then use File -> Export Map Positions or just hit F6. This will output all the map positions in a file called 'map_positions.txt' in your installation directory. Then you can cut and paste and rename as needed for the particular script. Hope this helps, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Dozer Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 i was thinking still ww2. A mix between axis and allies were the unit gets moved around and is made up of like 3 soldier groups.You move to france and control them on a zoomed up map so takes skill and planning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Mr.Dozer , what your thinking, i was also thinking along those lines, except that im partial to having a 'Super-World-Map', where-from all of WW2 could be played from, or portions there-of that Map, or even just specific Campaign's played in only certain Map-Portion's of the World-Map!. So the idea you mentioned of a "zoomed up map", to be then able to get into the 'nitty-gritty' of the subject, would then be possible and also possible as to playing out a Campaign in greater detail!. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnt63 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Nice ideas. Something I have been wanting is the ability to allow satellite allies to build up tech levels. Maybe there could be a tech which is something along the line of "Export technology to Allied Minors". This would allow your minor allies to purchase upgrades (maybe one level below the parent country). This would mean countries like Canada and similar would have a tech level equal to (or close) to their parent allied, and make them better off than a solo minor country that has no tech available. Right now I just add some points to the base unit ability but this isn't truly accurate as then the parent country needs to catch up and/or pass these allies to be where they should be in the arms race. Anyone else ponder this one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Dozer Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 yeah a ggame like sc/sc2 basics with some of the complicated stuff like europe in flames but not as boring personally. Were you move troops to different fronts. Like france is 3 areas and you move your units around and control stuff. Spend money on forts. Keep it simple is the main thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cater Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Your welcome and yes, often not all the tricks are immediately apparent... but I can imagine that every once in a while tips like these can be quite handy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
