I would be more interested in seeing an experiment in doubling the resolution of a regular map. I remember at one point there were screenshots of this, and an explanation of how this could be done. Anyone remember where this was? <span id='postcolor'> any answer for this? is it possible to double the size of an existing island without too much fuss?<span id='postcolor'> What Ebud is talking about (as I understand it) is doubling the resolution. That means making twice as many "readings per lenght unit". If you do that to a existing map it would make the sides of the map half the size and therefore the area of the map a quarter size of the original. But i think you could take an original map and reduce the resolution to half the original  - then you would get a map four times as big. Actually i don't think it would require any more from the computer compared to the original map, since there aren't more data.<span id='postcolor'> ok then...how about an answer to both, is it possible to double/quadruple the size of an already existing island and is it possible to double the resolution of an existing map [edit: you may have already answered this, but i know nothing about making islands, so youll have to make it simple for me ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m16a2m203 0 Posted January 13, 2003 Idea and Questions - Some have suggested in other threads of placing all 4 existing maps into one large map. Everyone seems to agree that the current state of computer sppeds could not handle such an environment. Instead I would like to suggest the idea of only placing two islands together on a double map. Each in opposite SW/NE corners as an example. The two other sections of NW/SE could be ocean with a flat bottom surface to reduce the amount of contours. Now the questions for Wolfie that I'm wondering about is can the two be combined by copy and paste with minor editing via a hex editor? And do we have a hex-edit guru who can do it?
