Importing Oject Data

[WhiteDeath]

Is there a way of importing custom object data without easing the custom object data that is already in the map?

 

[MortAr]

Nope.
Unless you copy all of it one-by-one.

ObjectMerger, available in JNGP.

What is this JNGP you speak of?

An extended editor that has already hit a lot of less versed mapmakers years ago.

I tried the merge of object data long ago with NewGen and it must overwrite data, maybe i did something wrong?

Last time I used it, ObjectMerger overwrites any existing object with the same rawcode... so use it only when you are sure that you don't have an object at the base map with the same rawcode as an object on the other map...

To merge object data there are three different modes available how collisions can be handled. Each of them is available from the menu as well as from vJASS external calls.

• m merge changes for objects with the same rawcode, this is the default (Extensions\Merge Object Editor Data)
• r replace existing objects with the imported objects in case of equal rawcodes (Extensions\Replace Object Editor Data)
• i a clean import, that generates new ids for imported objects if their id is already used (Extensions\Import Object Editor Data)

These 3 options are also available in the GUI (merge, replace, import).

So can JNGP cause any unwanted side effects?
I don't want to use it if it messes up my editor and makes me reinstal war3 again.

 

[Adiktuz]

It shouldn't mess up anything... We've been using it for years now...

 

[WhiteDeath]

I will check it out.
