How do templates work?

[Dreadlockpasta 1]

I've seen quite a few cool missions that come with templates I can use to port to other islands. Problem is, I don't understand how to do that. I've searched for it and can't figure it out. So how would I move an entire mission over to a different map?

Hello. You can move an user mission to a different island simply by renaming the folder ..ofp/users/name/missions/my_mission_name.islandname/. For example renaming test.Intro/ to test.Eden/ would port the mission named "test" from Desert Island to Everon.

To find out what the correct island name is for the one you wish to use, load it in the editor, place one unit on map and save as "whatislandname". Now you will find the island name by searching for the folder "whatislandname".

Or you can open the template in the mission editor. Drag a box around all of the objects and hit "Ctrl+C" which will copy everything. Then open up a different island in the editor and paste the objects onto the island with "Ctrl+V".

That would work for missions that do not have anything else than mission.sqm. Scripts, sounds, briefing etc would not be copy pasted.
