Problem description: I was wondering how to limit the players view range without having those black empty spaces around the map.
view = "26x21" /* This is my current view but it covers a wide area. 
I want to limit this to view = 8 without having those black voids around the map. 
I don't want to stretch the map because the icons icons end up fuzzy.*/

Thanks for the response but that's not what I had in mind. Do you know how when you make a Map in the interface? You have the option to "Stretch icons to fit map" or "Icon size(in pixels): input number here." I just want to know how to keep a size 8 view and don't have to worry about the empty spaces around the map if that makes sense.

Just make the size of the Map Control (in the interface) fit the view. View x Icon Size

If you're using an icon size of 32, and have a view of "26x21", then your map should be 832x672.

Edit: Of course Anchoring your map so that it stretches will mess this up and give you the letterbox effect.

That's too big. So my only other option is to make my map smaller?
