Combining Two Projects?

[Sausage_Boi]

I was wondering if there is any way to combine two full projects in Ace? Like maps, events and everything, just copy them all over and combine 2 separate projects into one big one?

Taking the story and events and maps of project a, and combining them with the story, events and maps of project b.

Possible?  Yes.  By copying?  No.

Everything in the original database would be overwritten with the stuff you're copying in.  Maps too.  Resources might be okay, if they didn't have the same names.  Anything that had the same names would have to be renamed (and everything that used them - database, events, map settings) would need to be changed to refer to the new name.

You could do it manually by having both projects open and copying things from the database, and the maps, from one to the other.  But if your tilesets were different, you'd have to copy the tilesets into new slots, then change all the maps to use the new tileset ids.

Or you could write a script / get a script written that will combine the two, but that would also be a huge job, and would be difficult to make clever enough to know what's identical and what needs to be cloned as a new object.
