Initial View did not seem to work when I adjusted coordinates.
When you press the option to convert UserPatch effects to AoHD it does not memorize it, so it will ask again when saving the scenario, but that can result in double conversion and will leave things buggy.
Change Speed from UserPatch to AoHD does not work properly, because the UserPatch Speed value 10 seems to be 1 for AoHD, but the value does not get changed, it remains the same. Means you will have super fast units, and will have to manually go through all effects.
Initial View: I think it's a bug in userpatch? Maybe I should ask scripter64.
Just added a message for when you are converting the triggers manually which should make it clear what you are about to do. I made that option because AOHD used to use the same format as AOC but interpretting the trigger type ids differently, resulting in scenarios that can run in either game but do different things. Converting triggers manually is meant changing version without changing format .
Change speed: Do you mean change speed of 100 in userpatch equals change speed of 10 in aohd?
Next version 1.2.0.66 will have the updates.
I dont know if these unknown chars came because of previous old version of AOKTS or because of 4.3a update, but most of triggers have these bad chars, or if i click on the trigger the name is not registered in texte area but it is displayed...

If you open a file
A.scx
You save it as
B.scx
The file B.scx not appear in the previous opened files, of course technically B has not been opened but used...
if you use reopen, it will open A instead of B.

On the first pic you can see that ID are messed
I had reorder them long time ago and they return like this
So i tried to rearrange them and it mess again the ID but weirdly as you can see on PIC 2
I tried again and again, save, open, reorder, save, reopen, so ID order was clean but once i tested the file some triggers now cannot work.

I maybe got a good news
No blackscreen has occured since the file has been saved with the new AOKTS
Only some crashes occurs, but think they are my fault, ill found one by one whats wrong

For the test
Create new file with AOKTS
Add some triggers
Save it
Open it with game editor
The bad chars appear
Now i get error at start age, feudal in game editor is imperial in AOKTS
Sometimes AOKTS lost some datas, so before conclude you should solve the chars problems because it may influence other things...
we already talked about one of these functions to add,
Here are my ideas for complete solution and easy to code, and also easy manipulation for creating scenarios.
>>>> Add functions in map tab
1) Save terrain only in a new file
(Instead of delete all players units, all triggers, remove all disabled units, remove AI, remove infos....)
And if possible rewrite entirely the terrain from the mini map you created by reading, not only copy from the file between some bounds.
2) Import the terrain only from another file (including erase existing terrain)
Of course maybe should prevenet user to import a bigger map in a smaller map
in case of insert a smaller map ask user if he want to center or align at top and bottom
>>>> Add function in a menu
1) Rewrite entirely the file (not only replace modified values, rewrite in a Virgin file all values from default in AOKTS and from AOKTS memory)
This could prevent errors that sometimes occur and are kept Inside the file
Would be great for debugging many files, not only the file i crashed with different testings.
