How big is the map? B.net has a 4 MB limit; not sure what limiters there are on LAN maps, but it would seem you've encountered one.

Do you have any obviously bloated imports, such as .MP3s? Might be time to start trimming.

0_o unfortunatly b.net wont allow large maps works in single player because no one has to download it. It could be cause mp3 where imported they are large enough to make the map to big.

Is there a way like changeing the humanX.mp3 with the bloodelftheme.mp3 without importing? couse the mp3 already in the game

d0h you don't import them... you just right click an internal audio file, then choose use as sound/music.

Yes but in order for me to use the arthas theme is to export it than do the internal audio file thing.

Just use Play Sound triggers.

Sound - Play Illidan's Theme, skipping the first 0.00 seconds

You don't even need to export, then import them - this trigger action lets you click through all the internal musics.

No but its a Melee map, and i dont really want to put in triggers in too much

Nobody will be able to play your melee map without the trigger so start choosin.

What difference could it *possibly* make to the melee experience whether one music is playing over another? You do realize that, by default, a medley of themes are played based on race. A simple trigger to play one song every once in a while is not going to break the game.

Okay, im in the trigger editor,what do i type to make the human theme in the whole game be the arthas theme?
