This tool that Sansal made is GREAT!!!!!

No more

if you want to clone objects!
Now takes about five minutes when the process used to take at least an hour, sometimes more!
If you want to clone an object to change how basic elements look, it
MIGHT be necessary to still clone the "old fashioned" way....I'm trying to modify how a BB Revenge looks using only the data from the Sansal tool, and I will report my findings back to the message boards if and when I have anything to report....I'm still somewhat new to the whole procedure, so it will take me longer than some of the masters of the clone that reside here on the boards!
......However, if you are looking to just clone objects to, say, put different load-outs on them, or assign them different roles,
The Sansal tool is AWESOME!!!!
Just clone, insert in data/air and roster/(country)/air (or change "air" to "sea", or whatever), and you are ready to add to the mission editor!!!
