Hello everyone, since i am new here i guess i'll say good day to all.

Anyways, I've been working on a map in World Builder for about a week. After finishing V1 i decided to make it larger, mostly to add abit more balance and allow the AI to build more freely.

So i went ahead to grab the border and resize it, however at this point i was unaware of the fact that only one end of the border has an anchor point. So i accidentally made a new border, at this point i just tucked it away hoping it would cause no problem.

Now there is a gap in my memory, but somehow i got hold of the original orange border and threw it to the corner as i had done with all the other borders(took me a while to realize there was no anchor point), i realized this was possibly a mistake so i tried pulling it back out, getting another orange bother, thinking it was the original one.

At this point i had no idea what the additional borders meant, nor did i realize that it would duplicate them with the same colors.
Few days later, expansion is done, i load it up ingame, and all i get is a tiny strip of the map.
At this point i realized where i had gone wrong, and i tried EVERYTHING i could to fix it. But to no avail, when i try to drag the borders i had tucked away in the corner, nothing happens, or it just makes a new one.

At this point i kinda lost it, as i thought all my hard work had gone lost. I did however find a temporary fix, which meant the map would switch the active border, this would do as a permanent fix if it was not for all the problems it brings.
i.e player views are offset to the position of the original border, and the map is completely shrouded.

To show case exactly what i mean, here is an image of where my borders went:

The cyan one is the new active border, and if the old orange one has not been completely removed, it is beneath about 30 other borders (I got desperate, and Worldbuilder autosaves alot)

So far i rely on scripts to make it work, however i realized these would only do when playing against AI. (such as moving the player's view to a start location, and removing the black shroud)
I did find the "reveal whole map" script and thought it would help, altho it did not and i guess it's either bugged or i am doing something wrong. I had it set to reveal for local player, did not work, i only got it to work by having it active for <this player's enemy>
Altho that seems to overwrite all AI scripts, so that is no solution.

Sorry for the overly long message, anyways, for those of you who read through it, i hope there will be some help to find.

Thank you in advance :)

Hey, and thanks. I will throw it on Dropbox.
And my hopes of ever fixing this has been lost completely, so if you do manage to find a way that would be like a miracle.

Also, don't judge my poor mapping skills, this is my first ever attempt at doing a 'serious' map. It wasn't made with any sketches in mind, all i wanted was that fort and then everything else came later. Some of the blend is really bad aswell, this i will look into later tho.

Last note, you may get missing objects, the map was made for use in a mod that i play quite alot, but from my previous experiences this shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you so much sir! :)

I really appreciate it!
And yeah i will be more cautious, this is a very tedious problem to have. Again thank you :D

EDIT:

Also, i had another little something i'd like to ask about, altho it's unrelated to the topic of this thread. It's about exporting scripts.

ZHMMM, he already did that but it screwed up the fog of war. I restored the default border so he doesn't have to do that anymore. Maybe I will create a tutorial to teach people how to do that.

JoshZemlinsky feel free to ask your question about script import/export.

Ah, well I didn't see that in your post, sorry.

I got the same problem - everything just turned pitch black on my map. Something must have happened.
Those borders are killing every map I am trying to make. I didnt mingle with them, just resized the border to fit the resizing and it all worked fine afterwards. Now, I got like a tons of orange borders up, I dont understand how they work? I can go on forever, finding orange borders and size them up to the upper right corner? One of them must be the active on, right?

No way to eliminate borders completely? Nuke them to the Saturn, maybe? :)

Well thanks, not sure what to say
It isn't my absolute first map, but it's the first one where i tried to make a 'serious' map. It's done now btw, few changes and adjustments were made since the one i uploaded for Mixery.
Sadly it's abit unbalanced, and there are other problems.. I played it with my brother today, and defending the fort is almost too easy. Some shorter ranged units when ontop of the fort, can actually outrange artillery, and often the terrain seems to confuse units causing difficulties when ordered to attack.

But it does look nice(i think lol) but not so good in practice.

The main reason i made it so small, is because i have an easier time focusing on things, and what i want to do.
Plus i didn't want the project to start out taking over a month to finish lol.

But i may continue to expand it, i actually had an idea to make it abit bigger for a 3 man fight.

I always start on the Fort, it is currently too small for AI players. Infact it was designed for use by a player.

And sure, here's the current version:

I fixed a few of the miss blend tiles, also the map hasn't been properly tested for Zero Hour, but feel free to make the necessary changes.

Not sure what you mean with the rename team part. Never faced any issues like that. You are aware that you can select what you want to export, right? Are you sure that teams have been selected for the export?

If the error is reproducible without mods, you should send me some example map + .scb file. But since I have never seen anything like that, I'd guess that it is the fault of that mod of yours.
