I have acquired a strangely behaving entity from the store.
I can put it on the map anywhere, but if I raise it off the ground and extract it,
the ground itself leaps up to the bottom of this object.

This can and does effect anything already placed around it, and the undo option
is sparse!
Anyone seen anything like this before?! Doesn't matter how high it is, or if it's
static or dynamic. Now I ran more tests... if I put it below ground, the ground
forms a hole down to the level of the object. Is there a setting or something for
this? Multiple pastes (after extract) always result in hills or holes depending on
at what height it was placed. fpe? settings? Thanks.

Further testing shows that a few of the vendors items have this going on.

Open fpe file and look for something such as: autoflatten = 0, and comment it, it should looks like:
;autoflatten = 0
Delete dbo file ant ry again.

@ 3com!

Thanks for the com 3com!

or when it is on the cursor press the U key (i think it's U, been a while since i did it) to toggle autoflatten on and off.

Yep, it's U key.. should have a very subtle colour difference to the object when selected in the editor but sometimes it's very hard to see.

It used to be really clearly coloured, it was a nice bright purple colour, so you knew autoflatten was on, but after the DX11 update it's not so noticable.

Much thanks for the info. ((Is anyone compiling all this documentation into
a book for future reference))?!? Haha, JK. I guess that would be great to have
a hard copy reference to things like this-- @ quick search.

Press "F1" for shortcut keys in the editor.

Pressing F1 appears to randomly crash GameGuru for me, the key list pops up for a fraction of a second then the editor window goes blue



But sometimes it works

Oh haven't had that before but to be honest I rarely press it ..

...Interesting... at least I can see it here then.
the book -- not privy to that kind of money-- yet!

I was thinking it would be quite useful to have while editing;
a simple straight down camera movement. Sometimes you have the
angle you want, but just want to go straight up or straight down--
don't see that listed...
