Hi, that would be very nice if we could import a structure of a map from another guy, to build a new map.
Even a guy making a map wanting to import his work on a previous map he made.
Giving this idea and wishing to have a tool to transforme tm2 maps in tmnf.
thx

To reuse parts of a map, this is partially possible using the macro block selection tool.
Obviously you need to be able to edit the map (no password protection).
Converting TM² maps into TMNF maps is not possible due to the newer blocks TM² Stadium has.
The games gives so many possibilities, you should create new stuff instead of copying existing things

Might be worth asking the map author for permission before doing something like this though.
(A little off topic, but consider using
singular they instead of he/him pronouns if you're not talking about any specific person. It's both more inclusive and grammatically more correct!

)

But can we take a map structure to another ? or is it only possible with the working map (the map in work process) ?
thx !

This only works in the editor mode. You can select a set of blocks and save them as macroblock.
But i don't know if it gets persisted into a file which you could transfer to a friend's PC so he can use it.
I guess you need to try on your own.
