xerxes Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 I'm trying to use just a portion of a map. I can only reduce it from the top and from the right. Is there a way to reduce it from the bottom and the left? thanks! -marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 I believe you need to simultaneously use the "Shift" key while clicking the "-" button from the map menu. The user interface is not very intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "shift" key combined with the +/- buttons change the direction of the map enlargement/reduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther G Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Here's a quick warning: Any units/landmarks placed on a map before the cut will be shifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscript Bagger Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 One nice aspect of the editor is that if you reduce the size of your map, then increase it again, it remembers the terrain and elevations in the "deleted" section. That way you don't lose hours of work with a careless click of the "-" button, and was a pleasant surprise the first time I noticed it. I still wish the editor had a general Undo function, but... I can wish in one hand and piss in the other, and I know which one will fill up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I haven't tested since reading this post, but in my experience, the editor dosen't 'remember' jack. I have in fact lost a great deal of work this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther G Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 It does not remember previous work on the shift sides (west and south), but it does on the east and north. Kind of strange, but that's how it works. Hope this helps. Regards, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
