World View

Code:
world
    view = 255


Error Message:
error:255:expected range is -1 to 35

Problem description:
I'm trying to scale a large terrain map so it can be viewed all at once. As far as I'm aware the easiest way to do this is to set the world view to a high value. But the compiler is telling me I can't set the view to 255, contrary to what's in the DM reference:
http://www.byond.com/docs/ref/info.html#/world/var/view

Edit: I'm using BYOND version 425.994

Am I missing something?

try
     view="255x255"


EDIT: I wouldn't recommend it though. Your icons would be just a dot..

error:"255x255":invalid view dimensions

I'm worried it might be something wrong with my Dream Maker. I'll try reinstalling.

There is nothing Wrong with it. It is just that you Did not use it properly...

Do this:

mob/Login()
    ..()
    client.view="255x255"

Ah that's solved it cheers. Was confused since the reference says the world view allows 255, where as client and mob only allow 35.
