Changing floor tiles beneath transparent tiles
After placing a tile with transparency (e.g. path, chair, table, etc.) its background can be set manual to any desired floor tile. For this select the floor tile and place it by using ctrl-left-click on the exiting tile with transparency. The floor tile should appear under the furniture and a small pink 'u' indicates the placed under-tile.
Copying spawners & features
When editing spanwers:
- Use ctrl-Lclick on a spawner to copy it's values to memory.
- Use shift-Lclick to place a memory copy of that spanwer.
The same goes for copying features, except that you must be in edit-feature mode to do so. The mouse operations are the same.
Changing a feature type without changing its values
In feature edit mode, select a feature from the palette, then shift-right click on an existing feature on the map to convert it to the selected feature.
Eg, say you wanted to change a LXY to a TEL, but wanted to keep the feature's dest-x and dest-y, select TEL from the palette, then shift-right-click on the LXY on the map to convert it to a TEL.
