Merging maps

[hdm]

Is possible to merge maps ? I mean not trigger or objects from object editor. I mean the environment, example, there is a map with nice doodads, terrain, etc. Can I merge this content to other map ? Is this even possible ?

I think it is possible. First copy the terrain -> That is done by opening the Terrain palette and making sure that all 3 options there are unchecked (these options are: Apply Textures, Apply Cliff and Apply Height) - having any of these checked will instead apply the checked option.
Once all options are unchecked, click in your map. Then press and hold left mouse button and drag your cursor over the area you want to copy. You will see that the area is in green rectangle.
Then press CTRL+C buttons to copy. Open your map, press CTRL+V. Now around your cursor the green rectangle should appear. Select the place where you want to paste your copied part and left-click there.

Then copy doodads in same manner -> when having Doodad palette open, drag your cursor over the area you want to copy.
However make sure everything you want to paste there is already created in object editor.

I think it should work like that (I copied only parts of map into the same map at most, not in different map, but imo it should be possible)

I'm getting trouble. See:

I created a map. The standard map, there is nothing but dust. This will be my map. This has the basic Terrain: grass, dirty, stone etc. But the map that I want to copy has a Round Tiles terrain type, and it doesn't have on my map so when I try to paste this Round Tiles Terrain to my map it doesn't work. It turns into Grass. Is this Tile customized ? How can I fix this ?

Why don't you create an empty map with the same tileset?
Another option is to open the "Advanced" menu in the top bar of your World Editor and select "Modify Tileset" option.
In the newly opened window check "use custom tileset" and then you swap/add new tileset to your palette.
However do note that some tiles cannot be changed.

If the map has imported tiles, then you will need to import them in your map as well.

You're awesome !!! I just mixed some terrains types to my palette. Ice, tile, dirty, grass, etc. Thank you.

And How can I change Cliff Type ? For example, I used ice terrain on a small area, but when I up x levels of that area it turns into Dirt Cliff with some ice. In the Option Apply Cliff Types there are

Cliff Type:

Dirt Cliff/ Tiled Cliff

How can I use add/replace cliffs like I did on Terrains ?

I don't think you can add another cliff type
