Can you change the size of a map after its made?

[Koopa124]

Why wont it let me go into the resized area of the map?

Say i made a 64x64 map, and i finished it, saved it, and opened it, could i change the size or no. im guessing not, just wondering though.

Edit: Yes i figured out you can, but it wont let me go into the newly added area, why not?

im on wrong computer though... so i dont remember how but it was in the menu were you can change loading screen and map description nad stuff..

Somewhere in the map options, there's a camera resizing box with arrows that allows you to stretch the map out at some point.

But I believe it needs to be a multiple of 32 in order to work.

yea i got it, but in the game, it shows the new map on the minimap, but i cna only walk to the old one.

Well, as far as I can assume

You'd have to square your map off, or rectangle, and then make a minimap for the area to overwrite the current one. Don't know how troublesome or possible that is, however.

Good to know I can make a map of a certain size, increase the size and have it stay proportional to the original on the minimap, though.

I've had to remake my map terrain/etc from scratch before because my map was too big. It's not that bad if you just tab between the two maps and copy the terrain/etc/data.

okay so basically go to map options in one of the top menus, then go to map size and camera bounds, in that "view" there should be a check mark box in the bottom right of that menu that says" apply to map bounds" then you just increase by a factor of 12 and press ok!

 

[Koopa124]

why cant i go onto the added section? my camra wont let me, and the camra bounds are the same as the map size.


its so wierd i dont get it,


EDIT:
God this is dumb.


It shows the new portions on the minimap, but the camra wont let me move out into the new section. its liek the map is still the odl size.

Do NOT double-post. Use the Edit Post button.

ok i got it now.. heres the correct path :

In the main window of the editor
Scenario (top menu ) > map size and camera bounds

Remember to mark this too:

 

[Koopa124]

i did that, both are checked, i save, test map, and i can only go in the old may. But on the minimap it shows the newly added stuff.

you cant increase your size of the map, but you can decrease it by doing the camara bound

 

[Lord_Nor]

just post the map, tell us how large you want it then we can see whats the problem...sorry but your exactly being specific about your problem

 

[Koopa124]

I cant fucking do anything cuase the thing keeps freezing cause of fricken vista! god i hate vista. I addeed so much, and it just freezes.

 

[Global_idiot]

Check the full map size and playeble map in camera bounds. is it fullmap:64x64
and palyeble map:64x64, or its palyeble maplike)54x54?

 

[Koopa124]

Playable- 192x192
camra- 180x192


the old size was like 100x100 ish...


....

 

[xXMephistoXx]

It really shouldn't be able to make a map that size... only: things that's a multiple of 32...

 

[Eleandor]

I don't really know what the problem was or what your request was, but I changed the size to the maximum allowed size, and it seems to be working, so...

 

[Koopa124]

I'd liek to see it, but my vista keeps saying "This program has stopped working" when i try to open it,...

 

[Lord_Nor]

hmm maybe try stopping other programs in the background or just try reinstalling wc3? that may fiz the problem or free up some space for your cpu to work world editor

 

[Koopa124]

doesnt matter, i cant even open maps anymore, my vista f***** everythign up.

 

[Lord_Nor]

no need for that language, anyways why dont you just be patient with your computer and do as i suggested, i could work...

 

[Koopa124]

No, im uninstallling everything realted to warcraft, and reinstalling it all, i saved all my stuff to a disk, so this better work, if not, im gonna go buy XP lol.

 

[Lord_Nor]

hahaha good idea, anyways that might fiz it and it probably will work, just dont have too many programs running like 3 different virus scans and such ...vista is very prone to lag and "death of machine"

 

[Koopa124]

nothing is running, read my custom data thread please.

Test the map, it wont let you move into the new added area. I dont know why.
