Import data

[Cantona66]

I am trying to import one campaign from Pacific to Great war, but can not get it to work. How shall i do it?

I open Pacific editor and choose export data but nothing is saved when i try this.

I choose all map layers, country data and general, and then nothing happens.

Also, if i just want to export map positions, that option is greyed out and not applicable, why?

Hi Cantona

The best thing to do before starting is to create a folder ready for the data to go into. Then when you are doing the export, it will ask you where to save the data and all you'll need to do is to click on the relevant folder.

After having selected all, just click ok and it should work.

The export map positions is different, and this is a way to export coordinates from the map. If you select a number of land tiles, using the Land Tiles selector, then click on export map positions, it will save a text file for you. This is just to make script writing easier.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Bill, now it works, but not not the units, then it crashes, i guess due to different unit types, is there any way to transfer units also?

Ok, now i have succeded to import units also, but right away after i open the campaign in the editor it crashes and this comes up: Failed (Draw strength vaule on map surface), what does that mean?

Hi Cantona66, this could very well be an error in the import function allowing you to import an incompatible unit layer when it really should not.

I would suggest not importing the units and see if that fixes the problem.
