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.

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!

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
