Two Sets of Custom Units

Is there any way to combine two sets of custom units? I know in the original editor it overwrites the unit data completely. Is there any way to get around this? Is there any tool i can use to do it? All I want to do is add some custom units from one map to another.

Is there no way to do this??? I've been looking through editors and they just don't seem to have any solid way of doing this.

What the hell you talking about boy?

I think his question is pretty clear. I just dont have an answer.

I'll give you an example. Let's say he had 10 custom units in map A, 10 custom units in map B, and 10 custom units and map C, and he wanted to put all 30 of the custom units in map D without manually entering all the data. I don't have an answer, but this should clarify the question (unless it doesn't clarify the question in which case I don't understand either)

Hex editing fun. If you don't have too much that needs to be merged, I'll do it for you.

this in a different thread a while back, not sure if this is what you mean, but try this:

Backup map A and B, in case this doesn't work.. :)
open Map A, and export custom units
close map A, and open map B
import custom units
IMPORTANT PART: now, make a new custom unit, and both sets of custom units should then show up..

Hope this helps, like I said, I think I remember this from a while back..

nope importing erases all previous custom units

In about 10 minutes with a hex editor and the spec shtee for .w3us you should be able to figure out how to combine them. It consits of coping and pasting the info, and changing 2 bytes. If you don't want to do this, I'll be happy to.

You could try to copy (CTRL+C) and Paste (CTRL+V)
But ive never tried it so i dont know if it works

Also i have a question I used to have about 20 posts now I only have 2 how did that happen

It is basically coping and pasting, but you have to get them in the rightplace, change the num of units changed, and make sure that there is no overlap in the unit codes for the custom units, as there probably will.

I mean couldnt you just highlight the costom unit push ctrl+c go to other maps unit editor and push ctrl+v

There are 3rd party unit editors out there -- why doesn't one of them add this as a feature?

The ones out there are currently bugged in the features they do have. Lets wait until those bugs are fixed before demanding new features

Hmm i have never tried this... i suggest you PM knightking...
