Approved!
I just tried it with different maps, and it tries to jump to that same location on the other map, or jumps to a corner if the map is smaller. Then, it still works for the original map again.
Set waypoints by holding ALT, and it doesn't work when clicking on the map (lost a lot of good MiGs that way), it has to be the ground itself.

(21:54:52): hey mike, we were wondering if a certain glitch in C&C Generals would be allowed
(21:56:03): you can use ctrl+F1 to save a map point to zoom back to, but for some reason if you keep playing the same map without exiting the program, you can still hit F1 to go back to that point, even though you technically didn't set it

(22:00:39): I'm confused as to what the significance of this glitch is?

(22:01:29): you can save map points ahead of time, like just start the level and set them, then restart the level, start recording, and they're already set to jump to, even though they weren't set during that playthrough
(22:02:12): so it speeds things up with the huge ammount of micromanaging in this game, getting around the map would be as quick as can be

(22:02:33): I guess for a segmented run or ILs that's fine
Nihilus666 10:03 pm
(22:03:16): ok cool, we're doing IL's
(22:03:36): not sure if it would even work to ss the whole game, as loading different levels might erase them
