In Magellan 2.4.0, which I believe that is the latest one, it's write in CHANGELOG:

Marianas-rc1 (v2.4.0)
-----------------
Updates:
* implemented custom map sizes
* small bugfixes in file handling (better errorreporting)

So the map could be increased? Better than 18944 x 7296 pixels?
 
Magellan may support custom map sizes, but FTG does not.
 
I don't think so.
In Photoshop you must set a map of 18944 x 7296 pixels because Magellan 2.2.1 Sulawesi at most supports this size.
But maybe in the latest Magellan this size is increased. I don't write about the maximum number of provinces, but only map size. If I can do it, I draw all siberian, scandivian and australian coastlines with PTI inside of them and I will add South Africa and Madagascar with some provinces.

Please change the name of this topic adding the "a" of "increasing".

Please I would like to know if I can increase map size - so that I can add South Africa and Australia in SGL map!

EDIT: maybe I can do mextract in a different way!!! Please help me and thanks in advance!
 
Sorry for the third consecutive post, but maybe I found the reply to my question:
implemented custom map sizes (use "/c:width,height" in minject instead of just "/c" to create a map with non-standard size

Here

EDIT: I can't do it with minject and mextract...

EDIT2: great day! mview doesn't work and view only an 18944 x 7296 pixel map but I see that the map is changed with minject... so I used mextract again with map files changed with minject. I tried to do it with 60000,30000 and in the game the map is increased. Tomorrow I try with mimage to see if in the map I can set South Africa and Australia!

I don't know, but I think 2560 x 2560 pixels with the exception of the beginner and the last ones, that may be 2304 x 2304... and remember that are overlapped!

However mview make to see only an 18944 x 7296 map... I don't know, because in the game the area selected in the small map different.
 
I wrong everything: in the map the map size is the same with minject, but not with mextract.

I tried to use mextract:

C:\EU2>mextract SGLv100.eu2map /O /C:19200,7552

So I add exactly 256 in 18944 and 256 in 7296 and in mview the map exactly 19200,7552.

So you must use mextract and not minject adding exacly multiple of 256.
 
Ok, I did "mextract test.eu2map /c:18944,9856" and it worked.

In mview the map size is 18944 x 9856.

What about mimage /e? Do you split it in smaller portions?

Do you mean smaller portions than 18944 x 9856?

Does this mean more provinces can be added as well?
Currently no. Anyway 2020 provinces are a lot.
 
No.

mimage /E SGLv100.eu2map test.psd /R:0,0,2560,2560

Then, to put it in the map

mimage /I test.psd SGLv100.eu2map /PEDANTIC

Then

minject SGLv100.eu2map /D:C:\EU2

I recommend you to put FTG demo or EU2 files in a folder like C:\EU2 or C:\FTG

Currently no. Anyway 2020 provinces are a lot.

Including ocean, sea and river provinces it still is limiting for a whole world.
