Importing Map Zone.
 
First off, I looked in the help files, the documentation on the website and did a search for an answer in the forum, just so you don't think I'm lazy.

I did find a reference to Zonecopy, but the link is dead, if it's freeware and anyone has a copy lieing around online anywhere I could try that.

Basically I want to transfer a single zone from a borrowed map into my own map. Only one, because it's an area that I never get around to map ( a PvP arena, frankly I'm so thankful to get a spar that I can't ask the person to wait for me to screw around mapping the place).

The import zone function is looking for .map files, which I now understand are the predessor to the .mdb files. I thought maybe I could just import the .mdb, but no, it turns into a new zone that looks like a peice of fractal art....
Besides which, I only want the single zone, not the whole borrowed map since I won't be able to keep track of where my char has been, what he's seen etc.

Now I could just map it by hand, making the rooms etc following the map pattern, but frankly, that's a royal pain.

Anyone able to help? Thanks.

Look for the ZoneCopy utility written by Charbal. I believe it is even available from a download page somewhere around here.
