Ok I am making an open rpg map for my friend. I am no where near finished but I wanted to show a friend my progress. Well when I try and host it it says map file too large please host another map. What is going on it say it is 4.31 mb. There isn't enough things on the map to make it that large. Please help

Most of the time, the terrain size (i.e. 64x64, 256x256) alone is enough to make the map file very large. If you have it so that the map size is greater than 256x256, the size of the file itself will increase dramatically.

Another factor is the amount of terrain editing used. And the amount of doodads placed on the map. Custom units is also a factor, as well as custom spells and items.

That is all i can help you with.

What if I have custom skins/models but they are just imported not acctually used?

Would that still cause space to be used?

YES! anything you import, used or not takes up space, it has to be below 4 mb.
