Larger worldmap?
« on: December 07, 2008, 02:44:20 pm »

Is it possible via any form of modding or perhaps external editors/programs to make a worldmap larger than 256x256?

I believe it is hard coded, so no.

Attempting to modify the worldgen file to create a world with nonstandard dimensions just forces the game to use the closest dimensions.  I've tried.

Hmm... Do you honestly need larger then 256x256?
And do you honestly think your computer could handle much more then 256x256 world generation?

Be interesting to find out, that's for sure. I wonder what would break first, the memory or overflows?

Yes.  You can have 257x257.  In fact it's impossible to have a 256x256 world.  :P
