You can use
EXTRACT file, template_id W Extracts static items from a targeted area on the map and saves them into the specified file.

for the first.

I don't know what template_id refers to

You can turn it into a multi:

but the output doesnt look anything like yours...

output


mulit


im guessing the output is in decimal, even if thats the case, the custom structure isnt there...
its all grass and flowers and whatnot...
its as if it only found the static hardcoded map items, not actual in game items you place down...



you know...
back in the olden days, wasnt there a program to turn your custom in game structures to a mul patch?

i just want a way to transfer structures from a 51a worldfile to 56b

You can try find the multiscripter or other multi patcher.

what sphere exports isnt in game items... its actual map statics

Yeah you need to patch your multi.mul file to actually create the item to use in game. You want mulpatcher or something, its been years since I did this.

i know an other way of copy&paste stuff - ok not dynamic stuff

change the stuff to static you like to extract. use MaSS for export the area you like.

MaSS is a new tool to copy&paste stuff from mulfiles. the special feature is, you can save this stuff in seperate stand-alone-file.
think about worlds done by centred, now with this tool, you are able to copy stuff.

at the moment, all descriptions only in german. still working on more features, tutorials and translating to english http://www.uo-pixel.de/map/mass/

insert this stuff via coords.
you can change static-id and map-id during import the extractfile to your map.
supports all emu and all map-size.
you can remove static in target area, or add new static to old static.
if there are transitions-graphics (also added in scripts) the tool is able to do missing transition. cut out an grass-island and insert it into a forest-area choose waterstuff to ignor and you will only have the area of grass insert.
