Improved unit editor

you should also have different camo patterns. Like the new one the marines use. Which has to deal with pixels.

You should read the whole post *** ***it should cover allmost every part of the unit selection.

I do like the whole backpack thing, but it has to be removable, the res soldiers with the backpacks are pretty easy to see when there prone.

It would be very nice if not only addon makers, but also mission makers could add custom cathegories/classes to the editor. Like equiping a soldier and then saving its as a template that could be used in other missions. Several of these template units could be used to form custom groups, that could also be saved as templates. A great thing would be the ability to export/import templates and exchange them with other people.

Such a template would contain all nescessary info like equipement, stats or visual aspects (with the possibility to leave some of them as default/random).

I haven't read any of rangers posts because he hasn't read the whole thread.

there should be a command to make a unit appear at a point without oodles of scripting like "this unit appear" in a trigger field and in the init you could type something like "unit setinvisible"?

Nice points, i hope BIS considers some of it.

Just one thing, from a mission editors point of view, allow a fully configured unit to be copied then pasted and it will appear with the same uniform, loadout, face etc.

Also you could select the unit to have a random face and random headgear so with ten copy and pastes, you have essentially created an individual squad.

Good ideas, I agree...

All good ideas.
So now we can throw out the ability to use old OFP addons.
So we can make totaly new ones, and BIS would have to give us a new 3d program to build with.

Not really. You would only have to change the config a little to make it fit the different selections. Much in the same way that people changed their addons from old OFP to RES OFP with own selection folders.
