A couple of weeks ago, I asked if there was any quick and dirty way to delete all entities from a level, leaving only the terrain. Today I accidentally stumbled upon a way to do this – if anybody is interested. Here are the steps.



1. Move all of the entity folders that you use the level from the entitybank folder to your desktop.

2. Start FPSCR.

3. Open the level. It will load without any entities.

4. Save the level to a different name. Do not save the level to the same name or you will lose the version with the entities.

5. Shut down FPSCR.

6. Move your entity folders back from your desktop to the entitybank folder.

7. Now you will have two versions of the level, one with all the entities and one with no entities.

This works for minor changes as well. I had edited a mountain and a ton of flowers on top of it. I later changed the mountain and had a bunch of floating flowers. Just removed the files for the flowers, loaded, and saved. Loaded again they were all gone. perfect

I'm not sure if this works in FPSC but it works in most programs: Press CTRL+A and then hit DEL. You're welcome.
