Map-making: Size of maps

KanKrusha

Hi

Does anyone know how big the playable areas of the current multiplayer maps are? I am starting a 3v3 map and I don't want to be way off. Sorry, I haven't figured out how to extract them

Also, I have saved it in a folder in my documents/ my games/dawn of war 3 as per the wiki but I have I got confused should it be in my steam apps folder (program files rather than my documents)???

Nope its the documents\my games\dawn of war 3\modssource\scenarios folder. But you should create a subfolder for every map you create or it will get messy.

672 is the max playable area you can select. I made a map of 672 x 672 playable area and it was way to large. You could go for 672x XX to make it more tube like but if you want to go square, dont make it too big.

Thansk, still too big for 3v3?

I found onkleSam's recommendations for COH2 maps but wondered if dow3 might be bigger

i have this bug where i cant load a previously made map in the editor. it says there is an error loading, so i have to complete the map in one sitting
