I'm not sure if this was ever added, so I thought I'd ask. Is it possible to copy a full map to a different map (ex: if I wanted to make a copy of Map 1 on Map 5). If not this would be a nice feature :)

What I wanted to do was try and add a Dark World to newfirst :D I thought it might be cool.. but it will be a pain to copy all the overworld screens over and THEN convert them to the dark world tiles.. *sigh*..

Oh, also, is it possible to name palettes? It looks like it is but I don't see where you name them.

Yes, it's already possible. Go to the map you want to copy, export the .map file, go to the map you want to paaste to, and import the .map file. I have used this very often. Good luck with the Darkworld thing.

Yes it is actually. There is a small section that you either click or tab to where it will show a red block. from there type in the palletes name (lvl palletes at least)

ah cool.. I thought of that but I wasn't sure if I was exporting all of the maps (which I think it originally did) or just that one..

I was referring to naming palletes... I actually have no clue how maps export myself...

They export as individual maps. It's how I included the overworld map from 1st.qst into my own quest to redesign it.

Still, there really ought to be a copy/paste map feature, even if all it does is export and import a temp map file. That way, newbies wouldn't always be asking about it.

Plus, there really needs to be a way to grab individual combo pages...

Definately, or even just "clumps" of combo pages, with the new "no combo pages" feature..
