Silly Editor Questions...

Post by smittyohio90 »

Sorry... some of these are probably obvious to others, but I can't wrap my head around the editor completely. I can get a working map going, after a fashion, but I just can't find answers to some questions that make it more painful or mysterious than it needs to be.

1) How do I delete a road or wall?
2) Is there any way to move a unit once put on the map?
3) Is there a comprehensive list of all the keyboard commands anywhere?
4) Is there any way to view the map with LOS and everything without attaching it to a scenario?
5) What exactly does "Redraw Terrain Symbols" do?
6) What exactly does "Rebuild Detail Map" do?
7) When would you use "Adjust Height by Noise" and "Create Height by Noise"? The wrecked a map I was playing with ;-)
8) How does the Shrub Generator work?

A week and a half later, and not a single response from Matrix or Western Civ even though SoS is new... I figured out 2 & 4 through trial and error. It shouldn't have to be done that way.

Yes, it is rather disappointing the lack of support there is for folks who want to get into the editor. Those were good questions too. Shame as, IMO, the volume of community-created content is one of the indicators of a healthy game.
