How to combine maps from different RMXP projects

[Azazel]

How do you combine maps from multiple rmxp projects into one? Taking the map file and putting it in the new project's map folder doesn't work.

Um... could you be a little more specific? I think you're talking about copying map data from one game to another, but I can't be sure. Or maybe I'm just a bit stupid today.

At any rate, I haven't tried to transfer a map before, so I couldn't be of much help beyond the obvious: you have the required tilesets in both projects?

Open two (or more) copies of RMXP with the projects you want to copy from, open one with the project you want to copy the maps to and copy+paste.

If you're using the same tilesets, you can open 2 sessions of RMXP, right-click on a map in the map-tree area, and select "Copy", then go the other game, and "Paste".

If you copy the file (Map004.rxdata) to the new 'data' folder, you also need to create a slot for it in the map-tree of the new game, save the game, close it, then copy the map file over, then reopen the game.
You may also need to rename the map, unless it has the same number as the placeholder.
