[General] Saving custom things

[konva]

Hello, is there a way to save custom things you made? For example, you made some items, abilites and heroes in map A. Howewer, you decide to use some things from map A in new map, map B, but you are forced to create it from scratch, or copy them from existing map... But you have to copy it one by one. Is there a way to simply add all custom things, or modified basic abilites into another map?

You can copy>paste triggers and imports (files).

You need to do the rest manually though.

or actually.. you can transfer ALL the object data from one map to another etc. Basically open the map with a mpq editor and move the data files over to a new map and replace it. (this would overwrite data in the new map)

not easier if 2nd map is based on 1st map but u change the terrain?

No, I make map A which is custom, but later on, I decide to modify abilites, add some new abilites, heroes, units in existing map, map B.
Also if I modify game constants, like max levels, food levels etc.?

You can't, without MPQ modifications which takes the same hard work. Tip though; you can copy an ability, text, a trigger folder, a unit, a doodad/dest, a buff and an upgrade at the same time. Just simultaneously Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V in the destination map.

Isn't there a way to export Object Editor data from a map to the WC3 folder, then you make a new map and import that data?

Save the map As a new one and delete terrain.

Have all of you forgot about the Object Editor - Save all Object Data and the Object Editor - Import custom data?

You can either do that, or create a campaign and use it's custom data there applying all custom data to all maps in the campaign.

I've seen it before but never used it, so I forgot.
