World Size...

Can you make it bigger without enlargeing the line spaceing....

e.g. you have 512x512 is a settings box on the map render... this will setup a map with 512x512 squares at what ever width....
Then just change it on the box and make it 1024x1024 to make it bigger... This way you can have small build spaceing for roads and stuff...

I am asking this because I am going to lock the cammara zoomed in and create a forist as an ornimental... Make the map look big... but ... I will have to srink the land space and again reduce the size of the map :/

A little dude walking accross brittan... don't sound right realy

ya cant change the number of tiles on the map at the moment sorry.. not gonna happen for the forseeable future either.

Mainly this is for optimisation reasons - to keep the map file size as small as possible, and to keep bandwidth low for things like player position updates, the map positions are stored & sent as 2 bytes of data (meaning 256 is the maximum value).

Making it optional is a long-term plan, but it'll involve a lot of work & code changes.
