Enlargement of Maps and a few other questions

[cheeto515]

Making a map larger
1. Okay, Is there some/any way to "Enlarge" or give the feeling that a map is "Enlarged"? Like, for example, on RPG's, the map seems HUGEE, I don't know if thats cause your using a single unit, or if its zoomed, or what, but they seem huge! If it is possible to make a map bigger than the largest size in the editor, how?

1.
You can zoom in, and make every unit smaller... Scaling value...
Or you can get WEU (world editor unlimitied) and make a larger size.

2

1. Basically all enchanted editors allow you to make maps bigger. To tell if they are using an effect of making everything smaller, look at a cliff.

2. I don't know what action you are talking about(I'll look into it), but I believe you can enable it in the Player Properties thing.

3. Erm, don't have editor up.

4. Player One enters a string containing <-name> as A substring.
Set Player Name to Substring (7, 25)

Don't have WE up, so that is all I can tell you.

To solve ur # 2 problem just use the action :
Game - Set lock alliance settings to (On/Off)

for you it should be off


If i understand you correctly you want the ability for players to choose alliances using the game interface. If i do then this will work (I had the same problem).

Oh, BTW its under Game - Set Map Flag but u change it to "lock alliance settings...."

THANK YOU! lol. I read the the first part and was like aww man, just what everyone said, then you told me what I have to select to get it. Thanks <3

GAR!!! The tab still won't open, hmmmm

GAR!!! The tab still won't open, hmmmm

Explain?

 

[Weyrling]

Instead of putting:
(Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 30)), Do:
(Substring((Entered chat string), 10, (Length of (Entered Chat String))))
Not a particularly huge difference, but sometimes it matters.

 

[cleeezzz]

wouldn't that mean you can spam a really long name? i think you should limit it to like 50 or something..

anyway
tab wont open?
you mean the ally tab?

maybe cuz your playing single player rofl

 

[Weyrling]

It will only accept a certain length of a name as Player Name anyways, I mostly just said that to let people know it is there, since it is more efficient under some circumstances.

Lol, ya probly

 

[cheeto515]

"Explain"
