in Zero Editor, go to "Terrain" then click on "Create New Terrain" then type in how big or small you want it to be, but make sure that it is a power of two, or you will get bad errors

In case you don't know, a power of two is 2 x [itself a number of times].

To make it easier, SWBF2 will run these powers of two with no issues:

128x128
256x256
512x512

Just know that 512x512 is absolutely way to big for a map, and a lot of modders start out thinking a gigantic map would be awesome, the trouble is when the AI has taken off with all of the vehicles you have to walk the equivalent of a 1/2 mile on foot to get to the action.
