Should I keep my entire world in one map, or hyperlink to submaps?
[Previous] [Main] [Next] For continent maps, we generally recommend hyperlinking to detail maps, rather than storing your whole world in one map file. This will speed up performance on very large maps, and make things easier to manage. What’s usually recommended is that any detail that can only be seen when zoomed in to greater than 40-100% should be stored in a hyperlinked map. How can I make a map that’s a zoomed in region of another map? [Previous] [Main] [Next] Select the objects on the first map that you want to display zoomed in the second map. Copy those to the clipboard. Create a new map, and paste those objects into the new map. Now scale the objects so they’re the size you’re looking for. This will provide a basis for your detail map. More advanced FM users may want to clone fractal objects before copy/pasting, and remove the unecessary nodes. After pasting into the new map, you can slightly fractalize the cloned objects (FractalFactor of 1 or two), to create more detail. Wha
