Need a little help:
Is there a way to quickly change an existing map to its counterpart from another world?
If so, how can it be done?
thanks!

Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.
I am on Win32, have no means to compile, and rely on prefabricated distributions (Thanks to Tino).

The short answer is No.

The underlying technical background is that while there is basically one switch that decides which world a map belongs to, the problem lies in the (in)compatibility of the different game elements. I suppose terrains could be mapped fairly easily from one world to another at this time, but immovables of one world do not necessarily exist another; same for animals.

Okay, thanks...
I expected some elements would change or be missing,
but I thought it might work with some finishing touches.
