I guess the topic name is a little bit confusing or maybe he dont match
my question. I have used a size 9 (premade "test") map to create my
own map. I dont use the whole map like in Grimms Crossing, so I painted
the areas where the player wont act, dont have to act in black, created
path/vision blockers.... .
Now they still can reach that areas by using tabled of command or
portalkey/blink and so on. In Grimms Crossing (opened in Editor) you
can see that the map has a huge area with trees which is not reachable
in game. That means you cant move your camera theire and you cant
point there for portaly key and so.

How can I made the same for my map?

If somebody dont unterstand what I mean I can add some pictures so you
better understand.

First make a backup of your map to make sure you don't lose anything.

To change this, you will have to open up your map file with an archiver (winrar, winzip, 7-zip, etc.)
In your map file, you should see a file named worldconfig. Extract it and open it with a text editor like notepad.

In the file you should see a <world ...> tag.
The following attributes can be changed to make the map look smaller:

minimappaddingtop, minimappaddingright, minimappaddingbottom, minimappaddingleft
gameboundsleft, gameboundstop, gameboundsright, gameboundsbottom

Change the values to fit what you want.
Save the worldconfig file.
Overwrite the worldconfig file inside your map with the one you edited.
You're done!

I don't use the editor that much so I'm not 100% sure, but isn't the cursor position displayed at the bottom left corner of the editor? I think using those value would make it pretty easy (since you seems to arleady know where you want it to be).
