Is it possible to change a map size? {how to expand map size?}

I have a map made, with A LOT of imported stuff as well as necesary triggers that I require to "save" for more maps. But Having to import all that again could be a REAL pain (because of all the routes of each file). I have 417 files to be more precised.

Anyway, I figured I could simply save the map with another name and edited from here, making a new "level". But I would need to expand the map size, and I don't know how.

So how can I expand the map size once the map has been started?

(OR, how can import 417 files to another map while keeping the routes intact?).

Thx in advance :) !

You could put all of the imported files in an MPQ and export the Object data and the triggers to re-import them in the new map.
That works well enough, the only drawback is that you'd need either to replace an ingame MPQ with yours or use MPQDraft to make a self-executing MPQ (an exe file that loads the MPQ file inside it into Warcraft)

By size, I'm guessing you mean "tiny" versus "epic" right?
Go to the Size and Camera tab under Scenario - Map Description. You can change it there.

YES! thank you -ALPHA-, didn't notice the option before. Problem solved.


As for Michael Peppers's proposal... sounds interesting as well, could help out in reducing the file size itself. Plus I have SOOO many imported stuff, that for some reason the map won't load through a custom campaing (it did when I took it all out :/). This would probably help a lot.
