Breaking the limits...

So, the maximum map size is too small for me
I figured it would be somehow possible to make it bigger, the question is: what are the downsides?
Will it leak? Will some strange bugs appear? It's just a singleplayer map, but still

What is the maximum map size? I know that on B.net it's about 8mb (with the new patch), but I wasn't aware there was one for singleplayer maps...

do you mean size as in filesize, or in terms of map size, like 128x128, 96x96, etc.?

Creep fails outside the normal max size. Custom editors can get it up to 512x512 I think.

Yes, map size, like 128x128

W8, so creeps fall when it's more like 256x256, or when it's more than 512x512?

Just make everything 50% smaller and you get a 50% increased map size.

Is this really true?

So I've heard, that is. During the discussion for 1.23b and 1.24 I read that Blizz had increased the max map size on B.net to 8mb (because Icefrog wanted it).

When it's more than the biggest normal one I think; maybe 256x256. Certainly smaller than the biggest you can make with a custom editor.
