Map Editor Addon

Level: 38

Was just thinking, as an addon feature for the Map Editor, and might mix things up a bit in Future Map Development

Addon Tabs:

Create Team

This is located Under "Map" you can create a Team to use for Map Editing

Create Team Addition:

Is Targetable (Can the team be attacked)
Can fight back (Can the team attack you)
Adjust Team Colour (Can change this team colour
Hostile to Other Teams (Set this to be hostile towards other Teams nearby)

Assigning Teams:
To use the Teams for the Map, Simple Double Click the newly place unit/structure, a Drop Down box will appear showing you the available teams, select one, will change it to the Team colour which you have created (If Multi players have been added, will also be added into the box for Ownership, making it easier for Pre-Built bases)

tl;dr: Anyway to set the buildings / cordinates to a player/# in the editor.
I use a long time trying to find out what buildings that should belong to guessing out of the coordinates. And the saving, unzipping, editing, zipping, renaming, moving, and trying to find this version in the game also takes time end energy.. A notepad inside would be fine...

There is no way that we're going to emulate the quirks of RA1 teamtypes, celltriggers, etc -- but we will add sensible ways to do the same kind of things.

Another thing to think about is how to make it easier for the modders. Like saving / zipping, etc... If the game can start a .zip game it would save some time instead of .oramap
And if there was a syntaxchecker, or just <tab> checker that would help a lot. Or editing of maps yaml file in the editor?

I think that would be more important than new features right now..

Couldn't you add the "Rule Edit" option directly from the map editor, in YAML format or something, to build the new custom rules with out editing the YAML?

While I don't deny that the editor could use some TLC, I thought I'd point out that some of these issues have already been addressed:
