hi, I wanted to scale up some of my favorite melee terrains but I'm not sure there's an easy way beyond laboriously remaking them. For example, this map is 128x128 but I would like to keep the same layout and make it 256x256.

Nope, no easy way.

thanks, thats a shame

Shouldn't be too hard for someone to whip up a program that would do that. Basically just duplicate every tile block by 2 vertically and horizontally. I don't have the skills or knowledge to do that myself. Best bet would be Farty or jjf28, if you asked them nicely.

It would be pretty rough - cliffs and ramps and things in particular would get pretty messed up, but it would do probably 80% of the work, and you could tidy it up from there.

That's what I was thinking too. I started doing it by hand and I'm already considering trying to make a macro. Mr. Farty or jjf28's expertise would be welcomed.

I really don't think you'll find the output from such a blunt transformation very thrilling, regardless, here's a program that can do it...

LMK if you have any problems with it.

Edit: now moves units/doodads/sprites as well.

Wow not bad, it'll take some cleaning up but it saved me a lot of time. Thanks jjf28!
