BTW the ME has Copy and Paste

[Nate--IRL--]

It seems few are aware of this feature in 1.1.0.9.

 

CTRL-C and CTRL-V

 

Have fun.

Um.. how does it work? Cause I click on a unit, hit ctrl-c, click on map, ctrl-v, nothing happens? D:

[PeterP]

Thanks- just right in time!

(Im at a stage right now

that I'm creating missions with more stuff than just way-points!

and the copy-paste thingy comes very handy!)

Edit:

Just add two buttons (#1=copy , #2=paste)

in the ME and (if possible) if the mouse hovers over this button it will show "CTRL-C" or "CTRL-V"

and no one will ask any more.

This is just a crazy idea from a guy that uses from time to time some graphic editor programs that are approved to work for years - and years to come.;)

thanks for revealing "secrets"!

Click Unit - CTRL-C, then CTRL-V (No 2nd Mouse click).

 

If you click the map a second time you deselect the unit being copied.

Actually, I strongly suspect my missioneditor folder may have become slightly corrupted. I don't suppose I could bum yours off as a vanilla replacement? D:

It's too large to share - I suggest a reinstall.

.. specifically the modules folder? [/hope]

Really?!

 

Edit:

 

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[ZoomBoy27]

Is that for the copy/pasting Text or for copy/pasting Units

 

I'm used to doing it for text - especially when re-naming Units

[Nate--IRL--]

Units - all types, including their information and advanced waypoint actions.

 

Also, Target points and other assignment points are maintained between the copies. Very handy for quick MP duplication.

I had the ME survival pack mod installed accidentally over the 1.1.0.9 files D:

[Cibit]

Just to confirm that the ME survival pack is no longer needed?

Thanks:)

Bloomin marvellous, thanks for the info Nate. (Any chance the patch 09 official update info could be ummml .... updated with this kind of valuable info?).

 

Cheers D_

[Nate--IRL--]

Well you guys know about it now anyway. :) Proper documentation will follow in BS and 1.1.0.10
