Report, edit, etc...Posted by Heimdal on 2005-03-22 at 01:48:13
A lot of these are in the tips.txt file in the starforge directory that I'm sure everyone has read, but some of them aren't. You're welcome to post anything I forgot...
Switch players quickly
Press the number keys at the top of the keyboard to set the current player to player 1-9.
Press the 'p' key on the keyboard to set the focus to the player box so that you can type in a number if it's greater than 9.
Moving already-placed units or sprites
When units or sprites are selected, use the arrow keys to move them one pixel at a time.
Scrolling with keys
Use the 8, 4, 6, and 2 keys on the number pad (remember num lock!) to scroll the map in any direction.
Unit stacking
To stack a unit such as a mineral block, select it and right-click, then select stack.
Grid options
Everything about the grid - spacing, offset, and color - can be edited in the grid settings window. Press ctrl-shift-g or edit->grid settings to do this.
Grid snap
Locations, units, and sprites can be snapped to grid. There's a toolbar button to toggle this on and off, or just press F4.
Array placement
Starforge has a tool to place units or sprites in a perfect ellipse or rectangle pattern. Click the unit or sprite you wish to use in the treeview, then right-click twice in the map area until the menu pops up. Select Array.
Strings
The string table editor (scenario->Strings or click the "ab.." button on the toolbar) previews each string in the context that it appears in in the map. It accurately previews color and up to one alignment mark. You can filter the string list by where the string is used. If you double-click on an item in the usage list it will take you to that editor. For example, if the string is used in a trigger, it will open that trigger in the trigger editor. If the string is used in a location, it opens the location properties for that location.
Locations
When in the location layer, a list of locations in the map appears in the sidebar. Clicking on an item in this list is identical to clicking on it in the map. This is useful if several locations are stacked on top of each other. Also, pressing delete after clicking an item in the list deletes the location, and double-clicking an item in the list or pressing enter after selecting an item opens that location's properties.
Clicking the "Show locations" button will show locations even when in other layers (but they won't get in the way of your clicking).
Player settings
When setting player colors and races, you can select multiple players at the same time by dragging or shift- or control-clicking.
All settings windows
You can copy and paste settings for any individual item by clicking the copy and paste buttons or pressing control-c and control-v.
You can save the current settings (this saves players, units, and tech settings in separate files) to a file to load into another map by pressing ctrl-s or clicking the save button.
Terrain layer
Recently used tiles from the master palette are placed below the terrain brush options panel. You can select tiles from here as if it was the master palette.
Pressing + or - (next to backspace) will increase or decrease the size of the brush by 1 in both directions.
It's possible (and useful) to have an isometric brush with a width or height of 0.
You can determine what a particular tile is by selecting it, right-clicking, and select "Select from master."
Custom brushes
You can create a brush out of already-existing terrain by selecting it, right-clicking, and selecting "Create brush."
Right-clicking on a tile in a custom brush will make that tile transparent, so it does not affect tiles underneath it when it is placed.
Custom brushes are editable - simply click on a terrain type or a tile in the master palette or recent tile palette and then click on the image of the brush to place it. Tiles from the normal terrain palette will be randomized from that tilegroup according to the current clutter setting when the brush is placed. This is denoted by a green "R" in the top corner.
Change unit/upgrade/tech/sprite trees
Open the Starforge data folder and change the appropriate .lst file (just open it with notepad). Pound signs (#) mark folders, and double-pound signs (##) mark the end of a folder. The file must end with a triple-pound (###). The number before the colon is the ID of that object. Folder names and IDs must be unique.
Change trigger function names
Open the Starforge data folder and change the appropriate .lst file (actions, briefings, or conditions). Here's how to change PreserveTrigger into PT:
Open actions.lst. Find the line Action PreserveTrigger() and change "PreserveTrigger" to "PT." The new line should look like Action PT().
Enter Trigger Parameters Numerically
If you'd like to use numbers instead of parameter aliases, you can change the actions.lst or conditions.lst files to enable this. When you see something like "Unit Unit," the first word is the parameter type and the second is the name. If you change the first word to "Number," the parameter will be numeric.
Example:
Change "Action MinimapPing(Location Where)" to "Action MinimapPing(Number Where)" to let you type the index of the location instead of the location name for this action.

Now THAT is very useful, and VERY helpful for a map maker like me (the lazy kind...). Thank you Heimdal!

Use the 8, 4, 6, and 2 keys on the number pad (remember num lock!) to scroll the map in any direction.

Personally, I hate this feature. I go to input numbers into my brush sizes and it keeps scrolling the map.

I should make a list of Sprites. Are Unit Sprites the same?
ADDITION:
The pont of the first line "Unit Numbers.txt" is because it is a text file I made

I hope you didn't spend a lot of time on that...
If you want the units and sprites list, look at the lst files in the data folder.

Oh, I didn't know it existed.
Owell, It didn't take long.
EDIT:
This didn't have all the folder names. So it doesn't really matter.
EDIT #2:
Also, some of thoes are out of order to be placed in logical order.
So mine can be helpful that way.

You can find those lists at other places like CC too. And yeah, unit sprites use the list that units do.

Enter Trigger Parameters Numerically
If you'd like to use numbers instead of parameter aliases, you can change the actions.lst or conditions.lst files to enable this. When you see something like "Unit Unit," the first word is the parameter type and the second is the name. If you change the first word to "Number," the parameter will be numeric.
Example:
Change "Action MinimapPing(Location Where)" to "Action MinimapPing(Number Where)" to let you type the index of the location instead of the location name for this action.

Hey can I remove some actions/conditions without messing up SF even more than it already is?
Why would I want to remove any you ask?
because some of them are totally useless.
like
commandleast
when you can just use commandleastat with an anywhere attrib
I'd rather have the extra file size of 8bits then have a useless action/condition
anyways can you?

You can't remove it entirely, but you can rename it to something that starts with several Zs, such that you'll never see it in the list and it won't confuse the autocomplete.
