[Import] is there a way to transfer all import data?

[sunshinex3]

what I mean is, is there a way to transfer all imports with their correct path?

so I wouldn't have to correct it again; after importing them into the new map.

Nope!
Once you import all data, you need to do the whole copy-paste thing and redo it manually.

You can use the file merging tool from JNGP. I believe it's under the extensions tab. You will need an older patch to run it (pre 1.28).

 

[Wark]

Either way, if you're like me and never use 3rd party tools, I usually just take screenshots or copy the file extensions into notepad.
It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to redo everything... unless you have thousands of DISBTN extensions or imported models for some reason.

 

[sunshinex3]

well the problem with that is, theirs only 1756 imports.... so
no, not doing it manually

ty for confirming, any one know if that custom world editor can do what i'm asking? (what ever its called wurst)

 

[Chaosy]

Could do it with a MPQ editor.

Just copy paste the whole map into a blank one and when it asks for permission overwrite files press no.
That should probably work

hrm i would need direction i have ladiks mpq editor but, i havent to slightest idea how to use that...

and the other issue is when transferring triggers some get turned off on the export and i don't know why.

They got turned off maybe because some of them use custom object data, you need to import all object data first before importing triggers else that happens, that's one thing to note for the next time

 

[sunshinex3]

well its practically the same map, so object data should be the same

That's not the point. If you aren't using mpq editor then you have to import stuff into a new map with a specific order, for example, you shouldn't import triggers before importing object data, because when you do, all actions that use custom object data will be disabled on triggers because they don't exist.

 

[sunshinex3]

Yes that makes sense i have figured out that for some odd reason the triggers that effect the physical map, such as regions, and units on the map at the start of the game get disabled and just need to be re-enabled.


still could use help transferring all those imports and their file paths(1767)
