Post by spyda46 »

HI there,

I am trying to create a map and want to create big section of ore, i cant seem to drag a box and fill this with ore like the old map editor, please tell me there is a way to do this with the new one? its frustrating doing it one box at a time ? Many thanks

BTW really loving what you guys are doing well done!

This isn't yet possible, but you can hold down the mouse button and drag it around to paint a region quickly. You don't need to click in each cell individually :)

haha yes i know that but still with maps 256x256 this is still very long winded way of using the editor - The big appeal of this from the older version is that it has bigger maps something i ve always wanted, however designing these big maps is proving very tiresome - As always keep up the good work :-)

at least we can do this in old original Red alert editor, and then convert it to ORA format... but umm... that is not convenient too :P

This wont work on maps bigger than 126x126 - the bigger maps is the main appeal to me of Openra.
