Doubt about importing files

[PauloCesar]

I am making a serie of things in many maps, the problem here is that i can't put all together in the same map because of the filesize limit. So i thought in making it in different maps and put then in some orders for example in the map 1 i will put the first thing and the second thing in the map two i will put the first and the third etc. But when i try to import the things i receive a warning saying thet it will replace the current data so what i should do?
Tell me If i haven't been clear.

 

[Ramza]

Not clear at all. Not to me, at least.

Are you trying to make a campaign?

 

[PauloCesar]

Yes i intend do make a campaign later.
First i am making the races i will use. An example of what i want to do is, in the first map will be the first race fighting the second in the next map will be the first race fighting the third etc. I thought in making the races separated and then put then together when i need then.

 

[Ramza]

But everything you create in the campaign editor will be available for all maps added to that campaign.

So you don't have to worry about that.

 

[PauloCesar]

I didn't know that it will sure help a lot thanks but if i want to put then in some map for the old melee mode there is some way to import the units piece by piece?

 

[Ramza]

Yeah, of course.

The campaign has an Import Manager (the ''Imported Files'' tab, next to ''Custom Data'') and each map has their own Import Manager (F12).

Or do you mean something else?

from what I understand, you are talking about object editor/AI editor & trigger?...if it says 'it will replace the current data', then you must manually do that ONE BY ONE coz WC3 is like that, they DO NOT ADD the data, instead they will REPLACE it...

I suggest you do ALL settings in ONE MAP then import that settings into various map campaign of yours...

Oh man one by one is sucks there are many things to copy :/
And if the map don't belong to a campaign i can't do it because of the Filesize limit.

 

[mckill2009]

Yeah that's how it works, if you find some solution about the ADD the data thing, post it here so that many of us may know

Open the object editor and go to the file tab. Down the list you will see "Export Unit Settings...", or "Export All Object Data..." , click which ever is better for you. Then in the map where you want the data to go, just import it using the other buttons beside the ones I told you.

I remember asking this question back at W3C in 2006.
