Filter Forge - Saving and Reusing map Scripts

Active Topics Search

rjp74 Posts: 21 Filters: 7	At the moment there is no easy way to save and reuse map scripts. As it is not possible to have two filters open at the same time it is not possible to do a simple cut and paste. It is necessary to close the current filter, open another, copy the desired map script, close the filter, open the original filter and paste the map script. All of which is a bit of a hassle. It would be most helpful to be able to name and save individual map scripts to disk and to be able to import them into a filter under construction as building blocks.
