ZE Layer settings from one computer to another [Solved]

ZE doesn't work on my main modding computer, so for my projects I make ZE worlds on my laptop, do all the map work I need to do there, and transfer the world file the same way as in this tutorial. However, I want to make a campaign mode, and so I need to add a few campaign-specific layers. This I can do easily, but something that might trouble me is the configuration of the layers. That is, I can specify which layers are used in campaign mode, but I have to click "Update World REQs and Mission MRQs" on the laptop. How would I transfer this data in the updated reqs and mrqs to my main modding computer?

As long as your data is stored in .lyr files, you're a-ok. REQ files of any kind (.req or .mrq) are easy-to-read-and-modify text files. You can generate them manually without much problem - just take a look at what data they need.

You could work with the complete data_ABC folder in your laptop and then transfer the complete folder instead of just transfering the world file or any other separate files. You don´t even need to have the mod tools installed in the laptop, if you aren´t munging there, the data_ABC folder is enough to run zero editor.

Alright, thanks. It worked perfectly. :)
