Editor Upgrade - Editor's Edition

The Problem
 As you may know, when Kegetys updated Gunslinger's editor upgrade for resistance, he hid a number of objects that he considered "useless", such as a head, a soccer ball, a trashcan, some furniture, and many others. The objects could still be made either through changing the mission.sqm, or by camcreate.


The Solution
 I don't think I'm alone when I say "I wish he hadn't done that". So I have gone and unhidden all those objects, with a couple of exceptions. I left hidden a few objects that are already available, such as sandbags, and I left hidden many objects that were duplicates (the same object only with "EAST" at the end of its name)--with the exception of MASH objects: there is one for each side, so units of that side will heal at them on their own.  I also have changed the vehicle class of all the units, so that they fall under different catagories than "objects", "support", etc. The catagories are:

  EU - Buildings
Residential houses and buildings of all sizes; churches; burned Kolgujev houses. Also castle walls and ruins.

  EU - Military Bldgs
Military buildings and structures, such as the yellowish houses in bases on the CWC islands, viewtowers, camo netting, etc.

  EU - Roads/Fences
Road sections, road signs, fences and walls of all sorts, telephone poles, etc.

  EU - Bush/Trees
Bushes, grasses and single trees.

  EU - Furnishings
Furniture such as sofas, tables, sinks and toilets, paintings, etc. Also small objects that would most likely be placed indoors, such as computers, radios, notebooks, bottles, etc.

  EU - Units
Units and vehicles, such as M1A1/T80s with 1 AI, civillian militia with AT weapon slots, Guba and Angelina. Also in this catagory are the "civillian dummy" objects.

  EU - Misc
All remaining objects that wouldn't fit in other catagories, such as shrapnel, blood splotch, footprints, white flares, ladders, etc.

 Most of the objects can be found under the "empty" side; the main exception being the "EU - Units" catagory, which has units under each side. Also, many objects can be placed under the "civillian" side; however, I HIGHLY recommend you just place them under the "empty" side instead.


To Use
 Replace your old editor upgrade with the new one (duh). For multiplayer games, however, you should put the old editor upgrade back, so you don't get a "modified config" message. Alternatively, you could set up two different mod folders, and load up the Kegety's one for MP, and this one for editing.
  If you have your own server, though, you should use this addon in place of Kegetys'. In this one, RequiredVersion has been bumped to 1.85 to make the requiredAddons feature work. RequiredAddons (bis_resistance) has been inserted. Without this the addon can make trouble in MP because it's addon dependencies are not declared correctly. Big thanks to benu for that tip!
