I got my map the way I want it, but I am lazy. I want to take the units and what not, and put it into a mod/dependency and put said dependency/mod into other maps I make so I don't spend a month on each one.
You have to create an empty mod (File>New>Document Type>Mod). There activate the dependencies you have used for your map and than .... copy and paste from your map all data stuff to your new mod.
Method 1
This is done best by using the XML view of the data. Check the overview manager to not miss any category. While you are coping you have to keep in mind a few things:
Do not save during the coping! Some cross references might by get lost. (Therefor check the overview manager)
In large XML files (eg Units or Actors - depends on your changes) you are limited to 65K characters in one clipboard paste. These large files can not be copied with a single c&p.
The text (buttons and editor descriptions) are not stored in the XML files. For these you should use a different method see below.
Method 2
I don't know, if this can be used for the XML stuff. But for the text files, I recommend this one.
Open your map and save it as a component list.
Open you mod and save it as a component list, too.
Close both files.
Copy from the new created directories the needed files from your map to your mod.
The 3 text files are in the folders xxXX.SC2Data \ LocalizedData
Happy copying !
