This idea has been in my head ever since I've really heard people having troubles with the pre-set map sizes. eg: "2 x 3", or "1 x 3".

So I call this the click and drag map editor function.

You click from the top-left corner of the editor secton, and drag to your specific size, any size you want. But the limit of the number of boxes [tiles] is listed in the picture, and it is the same number of spaces in the 3 x 3 pre-set map.

I hope you guys can understand this, I know it may be a tiny bit broad, but if you get what Im trying to suggest, please try to add on, but no useless functions or comments please, this might be a revolution in map editing and I would like it to be heard of.

Im sure the specifications that Ihave made are a little iffy, but you guys know what I mean.

NOPE! Wont work. Pawn is organized in screens, and in order to avoid glitches, there needs to be a screen by screen measurement. This wont work.

Sorry double post....

THAT GUY HAS AN IDEA :O yay! add on to THAT

Wait, but what if they could reconfigure it though, so it isnt a pre-set screen frame, I mean, you could have a map like the one in my picture, but where the screen would normally be, which is the whole game screen, it will be black. So you can play normally, but just with a black area surrounding the playing area of the game screen. But for that to work, there can be a "frame" function, where you can choose what dimensions of a frame you would like, but that dimsension has to be the only size of frame in your map. I know there are limitations to this suggestion.... oi... but Im hoping I could make SOME difference...

Mabey you could click in certin places to create a screen so that you could creat a "T" shaped map.
