Topic: how do i append maps in the editor?

hey teeworlds community smile
i made some maps and i host my own homeserver
so now i want to compile all maps into 1 map
but when i click on File -> Append and i want to append a map it just adds a squad layer (WTF?!)
i tried it severel times
sometimes some tiles are disappearing and sometimes the tile layers delete themselves (WTF?!)
so whats the problem?
can someone tell me what im doing wrong/how to append maps?

It doesn't add the group with the game layer. I use to make a brush of the first map's layer, open the second map, create a layer with the same tile set, and finally paste the brush there.

Re: how do i append maps in the editor?

ok step by step:
i created a new namp called test1
i embedded a mapre (i dunno how its called lol)
i created a tileset
i created this funny "map"
i saved test1
i created test2 like test1

when i had test2 open i clicked file -> append and clicked twice on test1

and then this (nah i wont says that) appears >.<

Not entirely sure if you can do it, but try moving the game layer to a separate group and then append the map. When you've done that you only have to copy the game layer over manually, as described in my first post.

Re: how do i append maps in the editor?

nope doesnt work sad
this is hard work to do all the stuff with the gamelayer
when youre just creating the map you can do at the same time the stuff with the gamelayer
but all at once thats hard xD
