okay another question

if i decide that maybe my map is too large, and i decide i want to resize it to save me the hassle of all the triggers n stuff i would have to copy, i know that SCMDraft has a resizing tool, as long as i make it a standard size, there should be no problem playing the map right?

like i know that sometimes it crashes or somthin but im not sure, but i resiezed a map yesterday and i've done a considerable amount of trigger work on it and i dont wanna have to do that all over again

I am not aware of any issues when using the resize tool.

The only issue with that resize tool is that it doesn't create new Isom in the resized parts, so if you plan on doing terrain on the resized part, I'd take a new map and paste your old terrain onto that instead.

well my old versoin of the map i decided was too large so i made a smaller map and did the terrain and copy pasted it into my map then i resized it

its just one thing to note, all your locations have to be moved otherwise they'll be way off the map when u resize.

but it appears to work alright on SC but now starforge wont let me save with it. so i cant use starforge on it. is that just cuz like scmdraft has a special code or somthin for it?

When you copy and paste isom terrain the isom data is lost, and it's only rectangular terrain.
So resizing is always the better option.

Yeah, but if you're already done with that part of the map, you don't need to edit it anymore.

I dont remember exactly, but I think resizing tries to regenerate the isom by first placing the terrain of the map point by point with a fake isom brush, then pasting the actual terrain. Could be mistaken tho.
