How can I get a matrix and objects I made in Magic World into my Dark Basic game?

I would think that the matrix and object data to make the map in DBC could be saved as text and then accessed and pasted into DB. For example, all of the matrix tile numbers and teh make object n, x, y, z commands just pasted into the DB text window and you could place it before the main loop and run it... But when I save the information to a text file, it gives information about the map like "3 cubes, matrix is 20 by 20" but no information that would help make the matrix in DB

It saves a level as a .mwdb
can i export this to .x or .3ds or something? how?

off topic: is .x or .3ds better for which purposes?

thanks

There is a file included with magicworld which is named
magicload1-1.dba

keep this file in your game directory and simply use these lines in your code:
#include "magicload1-1.dba"
MagicLoad("yourmapname",1,1,1)

Release the farbror in you!

sucks though that the include file doesn't work with dbpro..
magicworld is one of the best world editors for db =/
