Appreciation goes for Yen, for creating a way to stop the annoying loop error. Here's a level copy script, basically you just re-name the four main things

  temp.folderName = "levels/vs/currentworld/*.nw"; //Folders to where they are
  temp.copyFolder = "levels/newleveltest/"; //New folder name
  temp.newName = "world2"; //New level names
  temp.oldName = "illuminati2"; //Old level names 

It'll then copy all of the scripts, and also links and paste the levels in the new folder location

You do know there is a built-in copylevel command right?

But does copylevel change the links to match those of the new filenames and do a mass amount of levels?

[Inverness]

I don't know about automated link-changing. But if that is the case simply make the links scripted ones. Use this.level or level.name to get that and fine the ID of the instance from that and have the warp function executed appropriately. Or you could use database communication.

It makes a copy of the level, and creates it in a new folder. I've never used it, but I'd assume that it would copy everything in the level, or at least the important stuff.

The built-in command copies the file, but is not modifying levels. The built-in command currently has the advantage that the gserver is directly seeing the file, while with the scripted version you need to do /refreshfilelist, although that could be changed.

Doesn't edit the links. Feel free to try it.
