How do I increase the ingame size of a map, more than 256x256?


I have a premade map, and I have JassNewGenPack. I can increase the size of the map, but when I launch the game on the map, it is just 256x256.

I was told, I think, that you have to CREATE a map in JassNewGenPack to increase it's size, but I created it in normal world editor.

If you open it using JNGP you can use Scenario -> Map size and camera bounds to increase the size. I believe you can go up to 480 x 480. Any size you change it to has to be a multiple of 32 I think.

You could also resize it by modifying the .w3e file directly. You will need to insert a large number of blank nodes (can be all identical) in a way so as not to distort the map and the total number of declared nodes matches the expected map size (256*256 is actually 257*257 nodes to make an area of 256*256 tiles).
