So I've made many prefabs in alpha 18 and when I tried to make my first one for 19 I quickly realized that the sleeper volumes are broken. I cant adjust them using shift+g or even use g to move it around, making prefabs damn near useless without being able to add zombies to them. Maybe I'm missing something and the keybinds are changed somewhere I'm not sure. I've already went in and adjusted the XML for sleepers and its not working.

Hi Fluffams
If I have understood you correctly, the zombies are already added in the prefabs, when entering the world editor and checking the Show volume sleepers option, if it shows them all selected?
No I meant when im in the prefab editor and i push f6 to spawn in a sleeper volume it wont allow me to change the size, and the one that i do have in the editor wont allow me to assign zombies to the volume. i havent gotten to move my prefab to the world editor yet because the volumes aren't complete

What I did when creating my first 2 prefabs in A19, is to add the sleepers and then press F6 and then press volume sleeper (I think it says like this) at the bottom, you exit with Esc and it shows you the area to select it. with shift + g (to adjust), when you have selected all the sleepers, press the letter K and there you select which group of zombies you want.
idk im on the stable version of the game, i tried going back to 18.4 and manually setting up stable 19.0 and the issue was there for both versions of the game. If i load my previous prefabs ive done in the past it still wont allow me to change the size of the volumes either. Is my game just perma broken or something. I've been working on this issue for about 6-7 hours now and have gotten absolutely nowhere.

@Fluffams, there's a known issue with the various box selection resizes when dynamic resolution changes the 3D resolution. If you have it set to auto or scale, turn it to off and this issue should resolve.

Have a screenshot by chance? I know at least one other person describing what your seeing but haven't been able to repro it. Is your shift or G key bound to something custom?

If there is a question about keybindings and settings, there may be some old config options working against you. First of all check your options directly. If that doesn't help, use the nuclear option:
Start the game launcher, select tab "tools", "clean something something" and delete the configuration/settings (the first point of the list, you don't need to delete game data, i.e. worlds or save games).
You should write down you graphics settings before doing this so you can recreate them fast.

tricky part is you have trouble trying to move while you/camera is inside of the volume. i have had to remove a block from wall or ceiling so i can tag the volume when you are even on other side of wall you can/should still be able to interact with the handles then.. also.. if you are within a voxel block of an object you are limited again.
so standing next to sleeper, steps, ladder and loot containers will block your using things like the control handles too.
i now keep my sleeper volumes placed either just below a ceiling or above it so i can access it.

Looks like your keys are working otherwise the axis wouldn't look like that. Do any of the axis lines highlight yellow when your scroll over them with the cursor?
I have also noticed its difficult to LMB click to highlight a specific volume. Alot of the time its trial and error of clicking from inside/outside of the volume I want...
