Map size larger.

[ultra.x]

I use the jass helper editor and is there another editor or a way using my current to make a map size larger then 480X480 ?

Why would you make the map size larger and then set it to 480x480? Just make it 480x480 right away...

There's no way to make it larger than 480x480 as far as I know.

I want it larger than 480 though.

You can't, its a Warcraft limitation, just like the 300 food limit, you can't change it.

Im going to take blizzard to court now. Im going to need about 50 soliciters to do this.

i hear super large maps use advanced camera routines and make unit models miniscule.
you might have to delve into that silly nonsense.
if you get involved with that you might find collision size adjustments invaluable.
not sure how it all works, but there may be more to it than that.

Please give us a good reason why you need to go past those limits. It's not like you'll actually use every single square inch of the map plus it'll just increase the loading time of the map.

You can use Jass NewGen Pack.

The only problem is that it's not quite compatible with the current version of Wc3. I suggest a dual install for wc3. One for playing and one for the Editor. I'm pretty sure it works perfectly with 1.21b. Using it, you can go surpass any editor limits, like map bounds and doodad limits and it has a lot of pretty cool features. Anyway, I'm not sure why you would want to make a huge map. It'll just make it harder to run. But still, I hope I helped.

Lol, that was amusing. 480x480 was achieved by NewGen, the OP is asking how to get higher then this. Also, NewGen works fine with 1.24... it's just some features of Grimoire work only for 1.21.

Oh. My bad, I didn't notice he mentioned it's 480x480. I though he meant standard WE. Wow, this is embarrassing.

Make your own game...
WC3 is an old RTS game, its not designed to cope with huge maps. Large maps for MMORPGS and such use dynamic loading (loading only whats near you). Additionally RTS engines are not made to cope with life in huge maps.

I advise you just scale your map down to fit in 480*480. I would go futher and advise you to go to the standard large map size (even smaller) but that is not nescescary anymore as computers are so strong nowdays they can cope with 480*480 maps.

Once again Dr Super Good come to aid the ones who needs help..

very large maps is no good, it will slow the loading time specially when you have a lot of doodads & imported models
