Need to edit the Loading Screen Description/ect

[Redsonic]

Is there any way I could go about this without the World Editor? (My playable map size is 480/480, so I cannot use the in-game editor without getting the ''map is too large'' error)

Will I have to use a loading screen image that contains the description and everything?

I'm not sure I completely understand your problem. But with WEU you should still be able to open the map and modify the loading screen. Even with that size of a map. (As long as the actual map size is a multiple of 32.)

Nope. Even with WEU, it won't let me.
It says the map is too large in cells.

How can you work on the map if its so big the editor can't even open it? I'm not completely sure I understand what you mean. Umm, I don't think a 480 by 480 map can even be played by Warcraft III

It lets me edit it, when when I try to edit the ''MAP DESCRIPTION''
In the world editor, and hit OK, it slaps the error ''The map is too large in size, with a 240,000 something cells, the limit is 64,000 something cells''. I cannot edit the map description at all, including the loading screen.
Anything in the MAP DESCRIPTION window, with all it's tabs, i can't edit

Have you tested the map? I heavily doubt it well run. How did you get a 480 by 480 size map in the first place?

I asked you three times, you never answered. Have you tested the map? No you haven't. Using World Edit Enhancer, I built my own map at 480 by 480. What do you know, it doesn't work! The game engine won't allow a map that large. Sorry. You created an unplayable map.

Let me try it myself

The reason it doesn't work is because the Game Engine is incapable of displaying a map of that size. The biggest map that will run with 480 in one dimension is 480 X 128 (I think)
I'm sorry I'm not able to help you further.

The map loaded and worked

I just tested it, the map runs perfectly fine.

Just a lag spike in the beginning of the game, then some small lag, then the lag completely stops after a minute

WEU would disable that error if it was updated to the current version. Unfortunately, the current patch is 1.21, while WEU only works with v1.20.

So I just have to use custom loading screens for the map description/ect?

Well if you're having trouble getting it to work, you might as well. I don't see an alternative here.

Read the above posts.

Will, I'm glad you got it to work! I'm really not sure why I couldn't run mine. I wish you success in further ventures...

It's for my map ''LoaP Advance 2'', which is the sequel to LoaP Advance 1.
