1000 x 1000 map with lots of icons on the map will corrupt the map
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
create a 1000 x 1000 map. place lots of icons of the same type on the map then compile. i have read in a post that if you fill an 300 x 300 map with icons, the map will be corrupted when compiled. http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=260950
at the above link is an example on how to reproduce the error

i am filling the map in with turf not objects which is why i posted here
| |
Are you receiving some sort of error? If so, post it.
| |
i delete the map so i don't know the exact error but the error that i got was corrupted map when i ran the compiled program.
i have a 1000 x 1000 map with about 10 percent of it filled in with the same turf. i am trying to reproduce the error with a 300 x 300 map. filling it all with turf. i will get back to you and let you know if there is another corrupt map | |
i made a 300 x 300 map and filled it in with mob and it was corrupt, then i made another map of 300 x 300 and filled it in with obj and it was corrupt, yet a 300 x 300 map filled in with turf was not corrupt
error: corrupt map data in world file | |
As the thread you linked to says, there's a hard limit of 256^2 (65,536) on how many /atom/movables you can place on the map in the compiler. 300 * 300 = 90,000, so you're way over the compiler's limit.

ok. thank you.
how many turf is the limit? | |
I'm not quite sure. I just made a 1,000 by 1,000 map and slapped down a simple grass turf I defined and it loaded up fine.

LordAndrew resolved issue (Not a bug)
| |
The turf limit is about 16.7 million.
| |
well, i see no problems then. the limits are set very nicely.
thank you :) | |
If you're filling the map with obj, the topic you linked to explains the problem clearly, and is not a bug.
