I actually tested this not long ago.

500 x 500
1000 x 1000
2000 x 2000

Works fine in the map editor. It may be a different story in the game though.

Ok Rod, will get to it now.

Well, it seems the map can be created but then When I went to save it, I got an 'application error' !
The map saved loads up but, when it loads, the 'file error' comes up.
I'd suggest it ain't working right and if you to try build a scenario up with all the work involved on a map that size, you're in for a big disappointment ?
I'll send you the file Rod, see what it does at your end.

Peter

file's been e-mailed to you Rod.

I tried glints' ploy but it doesn't work...collapses when I try to save, as was the original symptom.

Would Pz VI and zeiss try a WF Desert 700 x 450, and send a copy to me? Both saved and unsaved if possible.

For the computer experts, could this be due to different OS?....my profound understanding suggests unlikely, but on occasion my computer knowledge has proven inadequate.

Ah, now I see what you guys are talking about.I tried making a 700 x 450 WF Desert Map but I get an error when I try to save it.

Jason, can't you just up the limit to make unlimited?Or increase the limit to 1000?

[zeiss]

Same here. I can sometimes save it without error but the terrain always disappears..

While we're on this...what do people think about maps with North not on top? For example, what might you feel of a Western Desert map with for example, Cairo at the bottom and Tunis at the top, meaning north is at 3 o'clock. Or the other way around. I know a lot of early custom scens have north in all dirrent directions.

For "dirrent" read "different".
