[mogbert]

Ok lets say you want to copy a city from a map to another map. or copy a dungeon from map to map... Lucky for you theres UO Copy. in this tutorial i will explain In-Depth how to use it.

Step 1 - Installation[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]Download and install, i got my copy from
http://shardwire.org/Downloads.html
Just unzip it into a DIR you will remember where its at.

Step 2 - Selection
Ok now comes the selection of the area of which you want to Copy
ill use my map again for example, but the same will apply to all maps.
i found the easyest way to do this is load pandoras box go to the travel menu and select the cordinates of these corners.



A - A will be your first cords so write them down. for me i got 4354,801,0
B - B will be your second cords so write them down. for me i got 4496,925,0

Selecting the new location
I have already selected a new location.



Placement
You see this is where i want my city. so i will have to select the top left
corner cords which for me are 3909,854,0

Source
Ok here you enter the static0.mul staidx0.mul and map0.mul this is the Source the files from which your getting the first location. so enter there
path there.

Destination
This is the location of the Destination files. the map.mul that you want to
put your new city (dungeon etc) into.
The items.wsc is the place you want to place your files. (you can place
freeze these items using Worldforge later see my Indepth worldforge FAQ)

Copy Rectangle
This is the information we collected before
A - Goes in min x / min y
B - Goes in max x / Max y
C - Goes in Off x / Off y (your offset will always be the top left
corner)

(Off Z is only if your changing the altitude of your entire Copy)

Commit
To commit the changes you have made simply press copy map..
then Copy statics. it will add all your changes to the map file..
and all your static items to your Items.wsc (which like i said, you
can freeze with worldforge refer to my worldforge FAQ)

In Conclusion
In conclussion this tool is only nessesary if you wish to copy a large portion of the map and move it around, or move it to another map. keep in mind that worldforge can only handle 65000 items at a time. if you wish to do more, you have to make multiple rectangles.
