Maximum Multiboard Size Workaround

[digeridoomanguylad]

Hello,

Does anyone know the maximum row/column count for multiboards that don't freeze the game when the multiboard is maximized? Or if there's a way to initialize the multiboard so that it doesn't crash? If the limit is greater than 23 rows and 26 columns (my map), then are there any alternatives to multiboards that you know of? I see that Risk uses an alternative for the end screen stats, but I don't know what they're using nor if it can support the size I'm looking for.

Searching around other threads (latest 2022), it seems that Reforged broke large multiboard capability but no one says the present maximum.

Threads from 2010 and earlier had their workarounds for extending the limit but of course they no longer apply. I've tried their fixes anyway, such as using the Arithmetic (17 + x) option when specifying row/column size in multiboard creation, or running a custom script modifying row/column size afterwards, but no luck.

Thanks a million

I don't know of a direct fix, but you can create your own UI on 1.31+. That's what Risk does.

This can only be done using Jass/Lua code, but there's this tool to make the process easier and more accessible to GUI users:

This would give you a lot more control and there would be no size limitations.
