Hi... I've made a x=128 y=154 map. I remember reading on one of the map threads that maximum y axis height is 128, or is this just speculation. Does someone know definitively? Do I need to spin my map 90 degrees?
Is maximum map height 128?

I should add that I am making my mod using 3rd party utilities as my computer can't currently do the game, though I have it.
I can't test this... so could someone please tell me if they know the answer.
Sorry to bump, but I need the answer to go forward on my mod.

128 plots? Yes. 128 grid cells? I don't think so.

Hello.
When I made a map of 128 plots on the Y axis I found that when zooming out above cloud level all terrain would just go black.
That was just my experience. I did a map of 125 plots and this cleared up the problem. I'd imagine the maximum is 127 since the plots start at 0 (0 to 127 = 128 plots, whereas 0 to 128 = 129 plots
)

Thank-you.
What's a plot and what's a grid cell? I'm working off a bmp going to WBSav using a utility... it's 128 pixels by 154 high - each of these plots or grid coordinates? I suspect grid as I believe plots, you divide by 4... so 32x38.5 or so plots.
It was mentioned that zooming out beyond the cloud layer caused problems... not having the game, was this bad for playability? Or is just a cosmetic problem.

Each grid cell is a 4x4 plot. So if your map was 128x154 grid cells it would be insanely huge, and probably impossible.

Sorry I just rememebred about this thread.
It's just a cosmetic problem, but it's an oh-so-pretty cosmetic.
TBH there could be any number of other factors that determine the maximum Y axis, like the one I tested was a flat map (not a globe).
It might be that a globe map would not have the same problem, I don't know.
But to answer the question, yes it is just cosmetic.
