Map Editor - How to
How can I delete and remove a unit (Boat) that I placed in my new map with the map editor creator. I can seem to find a way to delete the unit I placed on my map? There honestly should be a rig...

Are you sure 64x64 is the maximum map size? The game can handle 126x126 ones, so I don't see why the map editor should be HARDCODED to 64x64 when the game itself is capable of handling maps almost twice that size!
As such the real question should be: How exactly do I import maps made on the cncnet version of the map editor to this game?

That is thankfully a simple process, though a couple notes for you.
First: Load the Map you want to import into the Remastered Version of the Map Editor.
Second: Locate Waypoints that were added by CnCNet Map Editor or RAED. These are the HOME and REINF Waypoints. Remove them if you're importing a Multiplayer Map (The Remastered Game thinks they are Players 9 and 10, and will try to use them as Random Spawn Locations if you use Random Spawning).
Thirdly: Just Save the Map using the 'Save As' Function.
Paths:
C:\Users\[USER]\Documents\CnCRemastered\Local_Custom_Maps\Red_Alert
C:\Users\[USER]\Documents\CnCRemastered\Local_Custom_Maps\Tiberian_Dawn
Note: If you've not played the game before, then these paths won't exist.

Thank you, that will really help me going on down the long road. I wish ppm would post this in their mapping tutorials section, save us a lot of hassle.
Oh and Nyerguds, I cannot tell you that I had no idea that TD's max size was 62x62, hence why they hardcoded it at 64x64: just to make it compatible with both games. Why no one tells me these things, I will never know.
The actual map dimensions are 64x64 and 128x128, for TD and RA respectively, but the outer border is necessary for spawning in reinforcements and getting rid of transports and aircraft leaving the map, so the actual usable area is 62x62 on TD and 126x126 on RA.
Sorry for worrying you, but yes, I knew that, I just tend to forget that the 1 tile space you leave as a soft border on each map is vital and I tend to think of the obvious as redundant to mention, hence the confusion.
