What is the max size the map can be? Right now, my map is 4.43 mb.... I can't host on bnet..... WEAK. Anyone know how to reduce the size? |

It needs to be under 4.0 MB, one thing you can do is delete all doodads that you do not need, you can make terrain look great with a low amount of doodads and just tile variation. Second, you can remove custom models that are really not neccesary. 3rd, if u have massive amounts of custom units, just use up the existing ones(by editing them) instead of making completley new units. There are a couple map protectors that lower size some. Also take your skin files and make them smaller, they don't need to be extrememly detailed in a large game. |

Well said. As a point of reference, your objective shouldn't be to get the map under 4.0 mb. Rather, it should be to get the map under 1.0 mb, so that the idiots on battle.net will actually be willing to download it. You'll find it remarkably difficult to evangelize if the map doesn't seem to be downloading quickly to all the players. |
