Setting the size and shape of a new map

[Cirdan]

I'm sure it's been answered before, but searches for "worldmap size" and "world map size" didn't turn up anything actually related to the size of the world map, so I have to create a new thread. Could some charitable soul please tell me how to change the size and shape of the world map, when using Thorgrim's map editor? i expected it to ask me what dimensions I wnated when i hit the "New" button, but all that did was replace the terrain with water. I think it may have something to do with the first number in the map.txt file, but i don't understand exactly how that works.

I found it. It's the first lines of the module's configuration file. DOH!

And someone could have answered

If you are reffering to the module.ini file, then that is just the play area size (which you can also set by dragging the borders in selection mode, in the map editor).  To set the size of the map that the map editor creates, you must edit settings.cfg (in the editorData directory).  There are other settings in there you may want to set as well such as the mesh density you want the new map to have etc.
