Questions for campaign guru's

[Skirmisher]

OK in the Game guide it's saying that to change the start line for player 1 you use the % key.

But in the editor help file it's saying use the ! key.

While in the extended map editor I get negative funtion while using the %
key.

When using the ! key the editor is asking me if I want to remove all damage from the map. Y/N

So what is the actual key used for setting the variable start lines for player 1 in a user campaign?

Thanks

It is a user campaign scenario deployment hot key. Absolutely nothing to do with the map editors - the human player's start line is scenario data in a user campaign, not map data.

Do it while deploying the enemy forces and any fixed core etc while designing the scenario (after loading your map). To test it out - you need to play that scenario in a user campaign (you may want to make a 1 battle test harness). It wont happen if you play it as a stand alone scenario.

When you do this is clear,I am able to bring up the blue prompt screen asking for data on the new start line.

How you do it is not clear,meaning what data should be entered here?

I entered 34 (Thats the line distance from the baseline on the left) but the deployment area (tested in camapaign mode) is basically non exsistant. All units are starting on the left with no room to deploy at all.
