Editor "Settings"

Post by danlongman »

I have a question regarding importing information from one scenario or mod
into a random game I am trying to make. Importing "Items" seems to be effortless.
Importing SFT's offers two choices with a yes/no dialogue. I do not understand
what they mean. "Overwrite existing SFT types" yes/no and
"Overwrite graphics data sheet" yes/no.
Sometimes these choices break the game and sometimes not.
What is happening here? Thank you.

Problem with SFTs (Subformation types) is that they are connected to Items and Research. So if importing only SFTs and not Items and Research this may cause crashes.

Thank you ErnieSchwitz. Is this best done in any particular sequence?
I love the multitude of units in the Bombur mods.

If I had to do it, I would transfer first SFTs, then Items, then Research, then repeat for each one, and then I would save. ...

Thank you. What about overwriting and overwriting graphics data only?
