Hi guys ! I just got Lugaru some days ago , I did the whole campaign and even the Temple Capaign , now I look at all that , and there are many questions in my mind that I can't solve , I know most of them are somewhere in the forum , but I'm a bit lazy so ... erm well ...

in map editor :

1)How come that when I press Delete , or shift+Delete , and stand near object or player , they dont disapear ?
Edit : solved by Vib Rib , the key is Backspace

2)How can I flip the objects verticaly ? Like the "Rotation2" thing ?
Edit : solved by myself , it's ctrl+up/down

3)Is there a way to put more than 9 players ?
Edit : solved by Silb , no , because else that wouldn't fit with the dialogues

4)Is it me or the "size,proportion,power,speed" stats are reseted to 1 when you load a map , whatever the amount you put and saving after ? If yes , is there a way to counter it ?

5)Is it me or when you toggle the desert/grass/snow , it comes out a bit messed and you walk sometimes below the ground and sometimes above ?
Edit : fixed by Silb , just save and reload your map

6)Is there a way to move , resize , or flip the objects that have been already placed ?

7)When i try to change the fur with "cellar" only the "cellar door" one works , and it is the dark-blue creepy one , wich I don't really want , how can we change the fur ? Edit:solved by myself , using the fur as clothes with png

8 )I'm making some patrol units , so i place waypoints , but when I make more waypoints , they connect auto. that's a good thing , but it always connect , so I can't make more than 1 patrol circuit ... what do I have to do ?

9)Can I "spawn" weapons ? and how to give them to guards too ? (I tryed having one in my hand and spawn a unit , but that doesnt work) and not only on guards , because I would like to spawn weapons , and drop them in some place , so that you can get weapons by finding them
Edit : solved by zip , you press shift+x

10)My hotspots seem don't work when placed on objects like platformes and such , is it the case or it's just me ?
Edit : solved by myself , you need to reload the map // close the game then restart it

that's about all , thanks

I get most of of these problems too.
Most notably, I can't delete objects. That really bugs me, I have to get everything right the first time I do it, that makes alot of map saves.

The proportion sets get reseted to one, only if you try to bring it back to one by saying 1 1 1 1. It won't work, you have to put 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 to bring it back to the original.

Hey did you guys notice how you jumped less in the wolf campaign? Ya, the sizes were switched up, it also made it seem like you were more zoomed in. And, it made the bunnies and the wolves nearly the same size, the rabbits were sometimes taller even (lol, I don't really know, I'm just guess talking now). And the armor was set to 0 so the sword or knife will kill you in one hit on the last level even if you hit 'h' a bunch.

It's macspeak.

To delete placed players:
Shift+BACKSPACE

ok but what if I don't want them to be reseted when I load my map ?

Edit : thanks for the backspace hint , and also I would like to know , I'm making some patrol units , so i place waypoints , but when I make more waypoints , they connect auto. that's a good thing , but it always connect , so I can't make more than 1 patrol circuit ... what do I have to do ?

Shift-x cycles weapons for the nearest enemy.
And I've never had proportions reset for the map.. are you remembering to save mapname?

@1st subject : Ok thanks for the hint

@2nd : Yes of course . It only does that for the player , but for the others it works fine ...

3) Probably not.

4) I don't think you can. This is especially annoying when you make the main character a wolf. When you reload the map, he gets the proportions of a rabbit, which looks pretty silly. :?

5) Just save and reload.

6) Stand next to the object you wish to edit and hit control-backspace to delete it.

@3) Oh okay , well I wasn't sure , mainly when I saw the thing about the dialogues that the types go 1-9 and etc...

@4) For this , I was thinking about making a character specially bigger or stronger or whatever , so in the campaigns that would put some variations between the characters others than the clothing only ...

@5) Oh I see , I tought about it but just never tryed it ...

@6) Yeah well , I was talking about a way to modify it , instead of creating and deleting always the object ...

Thanks Silb
