Please do not send emails anymore!
You can download YATE when the tester's replies are worked out.
This editor allows you to easily create armies and triggers for a scenario just by using pulldown menues and inserting amounts. It makes creating triggers - which are similar for each player - very easy.
YATE will create RMS files - these files you can copy into your AOM\rm directory. Then you can load your generated "random map" into the map editor and - there you are - you have a map template with all armies and triggers you added with YATE!
Everyone who wants to make a scenario with many triggers, especially triggers which are similar for every player (like in a 'Blood')! You can also use it to generate you basic random map script (if you are used to it)!
I havnt found any way yet to implement the triggers into an existing scenario map.
1. You first make a concept of your map
2. You create a map/trigger/army template with YATE
3. You load the generated RMS file into the map editor and do your paintings

. You can move your units to a position you want, using the map editor. There will be also a possibility to place the objects to a well defined location on the map, for example (Meters in X direction, Meters Height, Meters in Z direction). Nevertheless you can change the locations for deploy armies, etc. when you check the triggers and armies in the map editor.
