Re: Army Men RTS Studio prop question
I assume you want to move objects from one world to another, and not create entirely new props. So...
When you start a new map in the studio, you'll by default have access to all the objects that are included through the file 'types_world.cfg'. This file can be found in the .x archive of the world. Some worlds, however, have additional props that you'll have to add manually. To do this, first save any current progress you have, or simply create a new temporary map of any size, and save that.
Now, navigate to where your mission was saved. By default, it will save to the first alphabetically listed mission folder: in this case that would be 'bc_p'.
Inside your mission, you will see four files:
Now, when you load the map into studio you will have access to place the props you have included.
If you want to use a prop from another world into a different one, you should follow the same steps as above, then you'll have to copy the included files over from the world you want them from.
For example: If you wanted to take the target from the sandbox world, first you will need to:

- Copy the necessary files for the prop.

- sandbox.prop.target.fpd
I may not make the best maps, or be the best player, but I put a lot of time, effort, and care into my stuff. That counts for something, right? No.

Re: Army Men RTS Studio prop question
Alright now that makes sense... by the way, do you still use discord Tommy?.. I might have frequent questions still since i am fairly new to this.
By the way i didnt mean new props, but props that i didnt see all in the Attic world for example... There is some things here and there i noticed that arent deployable...that ive seen in campaign, great battles, and such other maps.

Re: Army Men RTS Studio prop question
Yes. They all exist in the studio, but for whatever reason they are excluded from 'types_world.cfg' so they'll have to be included manually through 'types_mission.cfg'.
Look through all the world .x archives to find out the options you have.
