Exporting room graphics from JSWED

[playingwithwilly]

I know you can entity graphics in JSWED, but room graphics seem to be a different matter. I'm trying to export a series of graphics of a fish jumping from a room in one game to another.

You can copy an entire room, including sprites and guardians from that room, by selecting Clipboard > Copy. Then select the desired room from the room list and select Clipboard > Paste. If your room is in another game, then load that game first and then select Clipboard > Paste. You can then clear everything what is not needed there.

You can also export and import just the sprites by going to the sprites list (above "Room") and Right Click > Export and selecting the sprites you want using "From > To". Then load the game you are making and Import the sprites there. I think there may have been some bug in Export/Import, not sure though as I haven´t needed that.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking sorry.

Did you mean the rooms themselves or just their tile UDG's ?

There is some kind of bug if you export rooms, it can either truncate the exported data or do other things. Its openable in a decent text editor, offhand its something like an extra or missing closing tag, as the exported room data is quite straightforward to read.

The UDG's themselves can't be exported as such directly (as far as I know, I could be wrong)

The User Defined Graphics can be Copied by using Clipboard to copy the entire room. Of course you can then copy just one room per time.

But I don´t remember if JSWED 48K game graphics will partly become garbage if you try to Copy them to 128 or 64 versions? Or am I just thinking 48K upgrading to 128/64?
