How to Use
Spoiler
I recommend that you have an empty listen server with only this plugin loaded.
To save building types and locations place any building(s) (*NOTE* all Resource Towers are built automatically). When you are satisfied with the result run 'amx_commai_save'. Doing so will save a .cmai file in the 'data' directory with all of the buildings in this order:
Linear Mode
