Maptools question..

[Oompa]

So i made a nice map in maptools.. but now i need to make another map, in the same campaign.. how do i do this? If i create a new map, i need to import all data again, create all player tokens and settings all over..

Is there a simple way i dont know? Or am i supposed to use different sites of one campaign on one map?

Can't you simply save the map under a different name and then alter the copy?

Hmmm.. that could be possible.. i just have to see if i can easily place back the cut outs i made for hallway's and stuff..

You just do Map > New Map in Maptools. The new map does not replace the current map. You then use the little globe in the upper-right to switch between maps. Anything you have in your Resource Library (tokens) can be used on any of the maps in your campaign.

When i get home i shall check this function out..

Also you can select all your player tokens from one map, and do a simple copy and then paste them to the new map. Very useful.

Raise thread!
To add maps, follow DMFTodd's advise. To move maps from one campaign to another, you will need B69 or higher and in preferences turn on the "Enable map imort/export" on the Application tab. This will save out the currently selected map with every object/token/text/... to a rpmap file. Great when you have a certain map you use for your framework and move on to a new book in the campaign, RPGA, Pathfinder Society...
