Removing tags, text boxes etc.

Hey,

I want to take an existing .rpg file and permanently remove things such as the textboxes, tags, attacks, heroes, items, enemies etc so that I can start fresh. Is there a way to selectively "clean" an .rpg file?

Thanks

Most sections of the editor let you delete everything after a certain point with CTRL+Backspace.

That's the only way I know of wiping out a large amount of stuff, though, and if you want to keep anything that's past your "delete everything past here" point it won't work.

Thanks alot Fnrrf! Do you mind if I just call you Fnrrf?
I'll be using the assets of an rpg file for another game, but obviously want to remove the existing text boxes, maps etc. I'll give it a whirl, sounds like it should be just what I'm looking for.

Ok it seems I can't delete tags with this method. Is there a folder I can find the tags in when the rpg file is unlumped?

Tag names are stored in the lump named <b>ohrrpgce.tmn</b>

I think you can probably delete it safely, but I haven't tested that, so be sure to make a backup copy first before you try.

Thanks James. I'll give it a go, failing that I think I'll bite the bullet and import/export to a new file.
