WEU Map Size greater than epic issue

Recently (22 June) I downloaded and installed WEU one of the features is that one could make a map greater than epic size.

However this feature is not working.

On new maps I can extend one side far longer than epic, yet the other side does not.

In old maps (map already made) using the WE enhancer I open up the map boundaries/size, extend to my desired size (320 x 320), click close and the WEU editor closes without so much as an error message.

I even tried it without the enhancer and I get the error message: ‘The full map area (102400 cells) exceeds the limit of 65536 cells’ This error message is what is supposed to happen according to my search on the subject.

I have stuck to base 32 (32, 64, 96…320… etc) in all of my attempts.

I note that Patch (WEU No Limits) comes in various numbers (Patches): 1.07 being the lowest 1.18-1.20 being the highest. Am I to assume that that means the version of Editor? For instance I am using WEU 1.20 so I should be using Patch 1.18-1.20 correct?

As a side note I am using The Frozen Throne (TFT).

Has anyone else had this problem? If so have you been able to fix it? If yes how did you fix it?

My Apologies if this subject has been covered elsewhere, my search came up with no informative posts.

65536 is 8-bit unsigned integer value... hmm perhaps they didn't knew someone would like to make maps bigger... try shrinking all units :)

When the ‘The full map area (102400 cells) exceeds the limit of 65536 cells’ msg pops up the NoLimits-Patch is to be used in order to successfully edit the map properties.

I believe I said that even using the Patch there is an issue, namely the World editor closes up when I click “ok” on my map/camera sizing.

This usually happens when the version of the game doesn't match the version of the no-limits patch.

also, on mine, the max sized map is like 9mb on its own without anything imported or added, just a plank map :S
