Improved spawn list editor


The new spawn list editor makes it easier to select the units you want to use in your conquest/koth battles or in ground/air transport vehicles. Instead of having to find a specific unit in a list with hundreds of entries, you can now just place them like you would usually do.
In addition, you can adjust the unit's skill level and interaction settings or simply modify custom units in the embedded unit creator!

Custom modular material settings


Similar to how the materials of some vanilla modulars can be changed for each individual instance in the battle editor, this can now be set up to work with custom modular objects. You can just set up your material like usual, select which materials should be adjusted by the user and let the game figure out the best settings.

Vanilla modular material settings


The materials of wooden, framed, prison modular parts and the armored door can now be adjusted.

Measurement tool


The new measurement tool can be used in the battle and prefab editor to measure distances between two points. This can be usedful to selected grid snapping sizes or to selected sizes for custom objects.

Improved vanilla vehicle units


All units on ground/air/water vehicles will now have clothing and are randomized similar to other vanilla units, instead of being naked.
