Is there any way to open the WE twice (or more often) on the same pc?

No, I didn't make that work. I get the message world editor is already running.

Yes. With a hack.

But it is not as useful as you would think. You can't copy stuff from one WE instance to another.

It is better to just open two maps simultaneously in the same WE instance.

copy warcraft and run as different user from different directory.

proof screen included

you will need as many users and copes of game as you need instances of editor.

its possible to run from same directory but you will eventually get crush.

also winxp have one additional user by default (administrator) soo run as administrator and then run without multylogin.

I don't need to copy, I only need to open we twice.

I'm trying to merge the terrain from 2 maps into one, but terrain cant be merged (ObjectMerger) or copied I need to open WE twice (one with terrain1, which si changed and one with terrain2 which i manually copy). I've tried messing around with screenshots, but they arenot usable (cant scroll around, zoom, ect).
--> I need two WE's with different maps at the same time

That's odd, I am sure I remember a terrain copy feature in WE.

That's because there is one. Just click-drag and use control C and V between maps. Works great.

no dododas tho :(

I mean you can but you still need to do it by hand. I could have sworn there was a way to manually do it via a file within the map.
