I am looking for a bot that can scan a certain section of terrain, save
it and then copy it back again at a future date. Now I'm very specific about
what areas I want to save. I don't want to grab the entire world's terrain,
or a certain page or node. I want to be able to grab from, say, 30n 10w to
30s 20e, and nothing else.
See, I realized, now that I've almost finished my island by hand, that
my ocean floor terrain is too low, so I want to be able to copy and save
just
the island part, in a bunch of blocks, and then redo the ocean floor, then
put the island back.
Anyone know of a bot that can suit my needs? Thanks for your help,
Percipient

I *think* that Xelagot can do that for you.

I don't think this can be done, since terrain is one file that has many
cells. To have this fixed, I think it must be a bot that have to do that job
with a script that gives you possibility to tell the cords you want to lift
or lower. Then the bot will lift all that is inside this cords or create a
new elvdump file and load it to your world.
I have not seen any bot of this kind that could do it.

Yeah, I believe Xelagot can do it as part of it's terrain features. If it
hasn't I could write such a bot though (Percipient, mail me if interested).

Complicate and slow and requires you to dump your cache for the updates of
sometimes re-enter the world.

A Xelagot can only save, modify, delete, etcetera the entire world's terrain
all at once, unless I am seriously missing something. That's a little bit
too large scale for what I'm looking for.

Yes, I would be very interested in such a bot, as I bet others are/will be
(bonzai has already expressed interest in a post in this thread). I was
considering writing one myself, but I don't have the time to do it, with my
programming inexperience. I'm on a rather tight schedule on this project, as
I described in an earlier thread I started.
