Can i.......

[doggie_man]

I have made a Full Map but I want to add more paths as in terrain. Can I make the map Size bigger? While all my Data is on it?

Click Scenario Tab, find map size and camera bounds, u can change the map size.

Nothing in the map will be lost while doing this either.

You have to increase in multiples of five (in my exp.) so it will actually let you increase map bounds.

 

[Wraithwynd]

Multiples of 5? My WE is always screaming about 32

Thus 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256.

Multiples of 5 would be, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25....

doing the camera bound thing wont give you much space, i think he wants more than that, maybe he has a 128x128 he want to change it to 192x192.

I guess you could export all triggers, and object data into a blank larger map and then c&p the terrain/doodads.

You can also increase map boundaries by checking the box that says "Modify Map Bounds". Then just increase the boundaries and press ok.

And as mentioned before, the boundaries must be multipliers of 32 for it to work.

map boundaries is checked by default. Just also check "change map size" and change the map size to a power of 2.

I think he means 5 WE increments i.e. clicking the button 5 times.

or you can make it an Illusion o.o

Make everything half the size it normally is (including ms and attack range XD) and zoom the camera in a bit XD but that would be lot of work.

Deffinitly not your best idea!

Also Copying & pasting everything unto a new map would be a waste of time. Just open in winmpq and export everything but the terrain. Then make a new map with the desired terrain. Close the new map and use winmpq to import everything the other map had back into it. Then all you would have to copy and pasted from map to map is w/e you did with the terrain.

 

[Just_Spectating]

you cant copy terrain.

 

[donut3.5]

Yes you can.. you just have to copy the terrain, then the doodads/destructables, then the units, and place them all right. But yes, you can copy terrain. Just drag on the screen when on the Terrain Palette and it will create a green rectangle. Feel free to copy and paste like anything else.

LordOglog got my meaning. I have to press the arrow key on the change map bounds screen 5 times to end with a multiple of 32 to satisfy WE requirements.

 

[Just_Spectating]

when ever i try that "green Square" copy thing it dont work.

 

[Modo]

OK, this is how you do it.
1) Drag a sqaure around terrain while the terrain palette is active.
2) Press Ctrl+C to copy the terrain
3) Press Ctrl+V to get a big green square
4) Move the square to a new location and left click to place a copy of the terrain you selected in Step 1.

I have not used this extensively but I think it copies terrain type and cliffs. I don't kow about hills and stuff but I think they copy too.
