cant transfer over scarab?

Post by SpartanPat492 »

ive tried over and over again to just drag and drop the scarab from the 8b map to coag or dune and for the 8b map(the campaign map) the green bar gets to full and i can use the campaign map and mod it but it seems like the coag or dune or whatever map i use is like no responsive like its not finished and i thoguht maybe if i give it more time but i gave it like 20 minutes i mean does it need more?

Are you using Entity? If so, drag and drop does not work, you must "Build" it into the map.

Select what you want to transfer, click the check boxes "Parsed" and "Recursive" then hit "Save". Choose where you want to save it, I recommend making a new folder for each object you want to transfer. Then, in the other map, click "Build" and choose the folder you saved the meta in, and select the .Info file.

You open a map in Entity then go to the [scnr] tag. From there then Right Click where all the reflexives are and choose Clone Chunk. A box will pop up labeled Chunk Cloner. Go to the Netgame Equipment Reflexive and click on the box with the + ( Plus sign ) then it will show all the .itmc's and vehc's. Choose a weapon.itmc spawn you would like and then on the right look for the number 20 that is the number of times you want to clone the chunk. You can make it higher or lower depending on how many things you want to spawn ( The max chunks in the Netgame Equipment Reflexive is 100 for each map... I have gotten 101 in before and I think someone else has got 115 so you can try to see if you can still load the map ). Once you have decided how many at the bottom of it will be a button named "Clone Chunk", click on it. Now it should clone the chunk how many times you chose and it will refresh the reflexives. Once it has refreshed at the bottom right click the button named "Add Meta to Map" and you are done cloning chunks.

If still can't understand it I will make a quick video for you on how to clone chunks.

i just have a question on cloning chunks and adding them... do i just put 1 since i only want to add 1 scarab and which item should i click any of them? if i click that item and use it for my scarab will my scarab spawn where that item usually does?
