transferring everything from import manager to another map

[Griffith]

hello..!!
I'm making a campagin and I have a map with a lot of donwload model and textures and icon basically a new race and I want to transfer it to another map. i used the object editor from world editor and used the export all data and import it to the map but it only transfers the unit data but with no textures or icons. i don't know what to do.

Have you tried saving your map as a folder? Then you can easily modify it's contents.

You should be able to copy and paste the files from one map's imports folder to another.

If both maps are in the same campaign you should definitely import everything within the campaign and not on a per-map basis otherwise you'll lose your mind

Will the paths stay the same or I do all the paths again?

I read about campagins and I did a terrible start by making a map per map and not using the campagin editor which will make things easier. But Nope I did my playble race on one map and I'm trying to move it to another map the third Chapter ( also for some reason I did something in the past which worked for my second chapter all the model and textures and data are working)



also yes I lost my mind trying to figure out how the import manager works

This option should work but I think you'd have to change the file paths again...

I tried Uncle's of saving the map as a folder and moving everything to the folder and I worked actually but there is a small thing i want to ask.
by copy/paste everything from one map to another. The map just become a copy of the original map is there a specific file that i have to move to make other then the The .Blps and models?

You'll have a folder called war3mapImported. In that folder will be all of your map's imported files. Simply copy the files inside of that folder and paste them into your new map's war3mapImported folder.

I did it but the textures show up the world editor and in gmae doesn't work

To test a campaign map, make sure you play it directly by loading the game, the test map button in the editor doesn't really work for campaign because all your imported stuff doesn't get loaded
