Title: How to mass delete objects from your map
Post by: Shenzai on September 08, 2011, 01:19:39 pm

So you added thousands of very tiny ferns on your map, but later decided to remove them?
No, you'll not have to select and delete one by one! :D

You simply have to follow these steps:

1 - Go into C:\FeralHeart\media\terrains\YourMapName

2 - Open the file called 'YourMapNameObjects.cfg' with notepad. You'll see lots of numbers, like this:

1778.49 377 1979.36;5 4 5
1518.84 450 841.32;5 4 5

On this example, you can see there are Oaks ([MyTrees/OakTree]) and Large Shurbs ([MyPlants/LargeShurb]).

3 - If you want to remove all Oaks, for example, you would simply erase [MyTrees/OakTree] and all the following numbers.

4 - Now you save and go ingame. None of the oaks will be there anymore! ^^

Hope this helped you like it helped me!

Yes, I have once deleted stupid tiny ferns one by one... -__-'
Until I dicovered this XD

Ha ha I knew more people would get confused just like me ^^
There should be a way to select more than one object by dragging a box just like you do with the icons on the desktop XD

Thank u for this :D :D
But now theres pictures of notepads for all the files to do with water, objects, terrain, material etc does it work with the notepad symbols, or does it need the coloured square symbols back?
