well that is the use of "append"
i suggest you to just take some test maps and get your own experience on how "append" works ;)

I tried it with maps called 1 and 2
In map 1 i made a nr 1 with death tiles
Map nr2 has a nr 2 in death tiles a few blocks and extra group

Now i append map 1 into map 2
Now i append map 1 into map 2
2 append 1.png (83.02 KiB) Viewed 2381 times
still pretty confused as to what it does as it doesnt place both 1 and 2 in the map when i append them and yet sometimes has the extra blocks and other way around it doesnt
Very confused at this point but atleast it makes all the groups the way i want them

help :?: :?

It copies everything (envelopes, mapres, layers etc) to the other map, except the game-layers and all the layers within this certain group :p

so everything but whatever is placed with game layer gets copied over? what about Front layer anything different there?
