So i have this map where i made all these cool heroes, my leveling system, and all these cool abilities i made.
Now since last week i started mapping again and would like to use those heroes and abilities from the previous map i made,
I've been searching around but could nowhere find a solid/easy way to load those heroes and abilities into my new map,
hope someone can explain why this is made so hard and hope someone knows a good tutorial or another way.
Well, as far as I know, there is no easy way to do this.
The reason for this, is all the links around the data editor. You can copy your units and effects over, but it would be by marking all the effects at a time and paste them in your map, then go back and do the same for abilities, actors, movers, buttons, units, requirements, validators and whatever you need.
I would say the easiest way, would be to recreate it, as you've made it once before, it wont take long to do it the second time.
Easiest way is to change to XML mode and copy all the text for each data tab into your new map. But if you're going to use those in more than one map I suggest moving everything to a mod file and use it as depednency.
Open your map, "Save As", then in the dropdown below the filename pick ".sc2components" instead of ".sc2map"
Create a new mod, do the same.
Find the place where you saved the map and mod - They will now be folders instead of map/mod files.
Close the editor (Or just do "File -> Close", that'll close the map but keep the editor open)
Copy "Base.SC2Data" from your map into your mod folder.
In the mod folder, open "ComponentList.SC2Components" (This is practically the map file)
Open data editor, make sure the data from the map is in there.
File -> Save As, save it as a regular sc2mod file again.
Place mod file in your SC2 installation/Mods
Open your new map in which you want the data, go to File->Dependencies, "Add Other" and pick your mod from the local tab.
That should work for data. If you need to copy triggers as well, open your old map, select everything your trigger window, ctrl C, open new map, ctrl V. Links hopefully won't break, but double check to make sure.
btw since some update they did there are info messages from blizzard covering up part of my commandcards and overlapping some abilities, anyway how to remove those?
