finally, i didn't make this map, just addapt it (with nemo help)
if you got problem, tell it
thinks its all
the beachs hogs surfin hedgewars
Well, to be specific, there are a few restrictions on the unlimited map size
First off, if you compiled hedgewars with SDL 1.2, there's an annoying limit of their image representation that restricts width to 16,384 pixels. SDL2 does not have this limitation.
Height can be much much taller. I don't remember what that is limited to at the moment, but I think 65,536.
There's also an issue in .18 w/ too large of maps and targetted weps tho, so best stick to 16,384 in both directions for this release.
Anyway, upshot is this map had to be wrapped since it was really long.
BTW, this map was designed for a reduced colour layout (which is why it looks kinda washed out), which hedgewars does not support, so updating it to full RGBA colour means it uses a *lot* of memory.
768MiB of RAM and ~194MiB of vRAM
If you set Blurry Land using Reduce Quality and the like, it'll use:
384MiB of RAM and ~49MiB of vRAM
It probably isn't worth supporting indexed colours tho.

I discovered recently that shoppa people were totally unaware of the relaxed constraints on maps, so I repackaged this admittedly ugly (due to 256 colours origin) map and put it on DLC. I also tweaked it slightly.
Sparkles managed 8¾ minutes.
