Senario Editor Help Request

Myronides · January 11, 2001, 21:28

I tryed to use the senario editor since I bought the game from time to time, with no succes. Lately I 'm trying to edit a certain map, to ad some units on it and experiment a bit, but it seems to me impossible to figure out how this thing works. It's probably a question difficult to be answerd in the extence of a thread, but could anybody please give me some info to start with?

Anyone?

To tell you the truth, I've only tampered with it for about twenty minutes total, but it seems hardly functional..

I m sure there are many poeple in the threads managing well with the senario editor. Is there documentation or instructions to be found in the net?

To add units, you must have a prototype for the one(s) you want, then press SHIFT+F1 (IIRC), which will present you with a list of available units to choose from. Existing units can be modified by right-click on them (morale, owner, home city, etc.), except for needlejets.

Scroll lock switches between Paint Mode (for map editing) and Play Mode. To alter terrain, used ctrl+left click for "add/plus" effect, and ctrl+right (eg. raise terrain, place road, etc) click for "remove/minus" effect (lower terrain, clear improvements, etc)

I am not aware of any on-line documentation for this sorry excuse for an editor, but you'll find that a lot of things can be done with the right-click menu, the Map menu and the Scenario (duh) menu. I learned what I know through trial & error.

If you have specific question I'll be glad to answer them as well as I can, but I don't have time to write a user guide
