Expanding a 256x256 map.

[Steel_Stallion]

I've got an epic sized map with a terrain already built into it. I'd like to, how ever, add a little more to the top. I know this was possible with WE Unlimited, but I'm not sure how to do it while keeping my current terrain intact (without making a new map)

some advice?

You can copy the terrain by pressing Control+A (You have to have the terrain pallete btw)
Then pressing Control+C then make a new map and press Control+V

Hard to make it accurate with my cursor but alright that worked fine, thanks.

Long time no see stallion.

Also another way I believe you can use NewGen JASS (I think thats what it's called?) and it allows you to go up to 480x480.

And do so by copying and pasting the terrain as mentioned above.

yeah, get newgen Direct link
and when you go to expand the terrain, make sure you have 'no limits" enabled in one of the tabs up top :/ other wise it will try to retain the same area, typically making width to length ratios stay roughly the same as 256x256 .... soo.... yeah. thats it.
good luck

side note: dont use WE unlimited. it is a taboo of editing :[
