Arma Reforger TOOLS - Eden World locked and wont unlock

[TheMrBiffles]

Loaded up this morning and started working through a scenario and realized my Eden world is locked and the option for unlocking isnt highlighted. Idk what i did to make this happen or if it was some sort of update. any help is appreciated. total newb

Create a "Sub-World", a kind of extending the basic eden.

you cant modify the original file, first you need to create a "copy".

afaik, it was like this since the beginning.

i thought it was going to affect my game scenario but it didnt...just a pain in the neck really...i had whole areas of the eden world deleted and stuff...but now people are telling me that was never possible? idk...maybe ive been mandella'd

Is there any update to this, trying to edit Eden myself and can't because everything is locked.

It's an engine limitation, the world is packed and you can not edit/delete things in it. Only exception is if those 'things' are in prefabs which you can modify separately.
However you can place new entities there, for that you need to create a sub-world of that world.

You absolutely were able to edit the map when tools was first released so you're not going crazy guys. I don't know why but BI have now removed that ability.

I'm no longer even able to edit the "copy". So god knows how anyone makes a customised server anymore

My world is in it's own locked default layer due to the only work around for the invisible wall issue.

I accidentally set the locked world as active and had this problem.

I have another layer with my cameramanager, terrain, world light entity etc etc and I just simply right clicked that layer and "set as active" and now I can unlock the "default" layer with "world" again and place objects.
