How to import entire Map?

[Hoernchen]

How can I import the map from one map to another map. By map I mean the terrain with all the units and doodads on it. I tried selecting and copying it all, but it lags a lot and I can't get the doodads to their correct position, etc.

I think that you cant export doodads and import them to exact place, but you can import - export units ( not their positions, just data ) by file-export unit data, save it somewhere, and then open your map, import data and voila.

Doesn't solve my problem. I know I can do that. The problem is to get the exact position of doodads and units right. Whenever I try copy and pasting, it screws up, lags and doesn't fit. There has to be a way, I mean the map does save all that stuff somewhere.

lol then I don't know it's not my pro area...sry

Maybe you could use the original map (from which you want to copy things) and delete everything else such as triggers... And transfer from your dest-map all the triggers you had.

Unit-data can be exported by selecting Export All Object Data, from the Object Editor File menu, then imported in the terrain-map

You can replace MPQ files.

I tried deleting everything (the reason im trying to copy and paste is, that the original crashes when loading), but it still crashes even if i delete all imports, object and trigger data as well as custom stuff.

How do I replace MPQ files?

What's the problem with the map? Is it not working or?

 

[Hoernchen]

It crashes at 40% of the loading time always. It has something to do with v1.22 of WC3, because it used to work, but no matter what aspect of it I remove, it still crashes.

Did you make it using NewGen? If you did, there lies your problem.

I suggest that you make a backup of any of your future maps, so as to avoid this problem in the future.

 

[Hoernchen]

Can someone please just answer my question. I don't care about anything else but getting the entire map with its doodads and units to another map.

+rep if it solves my problem

I would select>copy>paste.

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

maybe one could help it you attach your map, so
the problem is still unknown and copy everything would be far too much work

otherwise, I must agree with TheBlooddancer
