HI,

i am working on an ums map. Its working fine. Now i also would love to make a version were instead of chosing your force it gets randomized. That worked by activating "randomize start location".

Now people are claiming that they are used to the original colors á la Player 1 = red etc. When i randomize it, the colors get randomized aswell.

So i would like know if there is a way just randomize the starting positions but keep the colors.

Big thx to everyone who helpls!

The only real way to do that is to disable random starting locations and do the randomization yourself via triggers. You can either create the units yourself in random spots or have it owned by a neutral/computer player and give it to the player in random locations.

Symmetry -- https://staredit.net/topic/18903/ can u do it

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen

Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
