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.

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.

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!

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]
Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically
