Map upload bug: 5/23/2019 21:55:34

I have created a map using inkscape, and it looked to be very promising. When I went into the editor and viewed the map I had uploaded, for some reason the map was really small. While the map itself is almost 300 territories, the map was uploaded as small, and takes little space if you preview the map. I've tested the map a couple times, and just zooming in takes out the affect entirely, but I am worried that if I publish it it won't be accepted because it was uploaded as a bug. I have uploaded it several times, each time the same bug of it being really small occurs over and over. Is there any way to fix this, or am I stuck with a small map forever? I can invite you to a game to view the map and It's problem with being small if you are required to investigate.

In Inkscape press ctrl shift X

Then click the top option. Find the ‘viewbox’ Field, and if it’s value is anything but 0, change it to 0.


Since svg files are vectors they need parameters to display its scale, if your viewbox says anything but 0 then the default (which is what warzone uses) is zoomed in or out wrong.


May you help bring warzone to Balance.

I went to document properties, to scale and clicked on viewbox. The X is set to 0 and the Y is set to 0. I re-uploaded and the map still only takes up the top left corner. If you need to know, the size of the map is set to Width: 2000 px and Height: 1500 px. Please help! this problem has been extremely annoying for me.

Copy your map before you change the viewbox, then paste it back in and move it back into X:0 Y:0.

Could always copy and paste everything into a new document too if you Bork it too much.
