Transferring Terrain from one place-file to another

This tutorial shows how to transfer Terrain data (ground only with default properties) Base64 code manually, without using plugins, from one file to another. (WINDOWS 11)

I found it in the depths of the Internet…

Creating files

First, let’s create 2 roblox studio files. They must have the extension .rbxlx (XML-based place file format, human-readable)

2 плейса

  • Copy - place with already created Terrain, which we will transfer
  • Save - empty place to which Terrain will be transferred

Open the file editor

I will use the classic Notepad

Open each file in “text form”. Right click → Edit in Notepad

PhysicsGrid

Go to the Copy file. I recommend turning on keyword search and typing “PhysicsGrid” there (Edit → Find). Find the line of code with this property, then copy its contents

  • What needs to be copied is highlighted in blue

Important: Copy exactly as shown in the sample!

Once you have copied the contents of PhysicsGrid, open the Save file and paste it into the same location. If something is already there, delete it!

SmoothGrid

Go to the Copy file. I recommend turning on keyword search and typing “SmoothGrid” there (Edit → Find). Find the line of code with this property, then copy its contents

  • What needs to be copied is highlighted in blue

Important: Copy exactly as shown in the sample!

Once you have copied the contents of SmoothGrid, open the Save file and paste it into the same location. If something is already there, delete it!

Save & Open

Save the changes in the Save file and open it in Roblox Studio. Your Terrain has been successfully transferred!

I find this method really hard. Don’t you think? I made a better method!

What you could do is to use some basic scripting (or this plugin I just made) to convert the terrain into a terrain region and then use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to copy and paste it into another place.

Although. I do have to appreciate your effort. This is a really neat trick! I would have NEVER known about this. Thank you.

Yes, I completely agree with you! I just found this idea quite interesting when I found out about it myself, so I decided to make a post about it here… I think it will be useful for someone, who really needs it
