warcraft map max file size...

So ive been working on this gigantic RPG, and i have about 70% of the terrain done and i go and try to test it with a friend and it says map file size to large. I have managed to play it by using vexorians map optimizer, but i was wondering if there was somthing else i could do to reduce the size. Thanks

Heavy Locked combined with Vex Optimizer

Doesn't Vex Optimizer make Locker redundant?

Depending on what your imports are, you could use a graphics program to reduce the size of imported textures (can be done with http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=83092) and squish your model files (http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=83416).

i hardly have any imports in. I think its because my map size is 480 x 480 and I have a crap load of doodads. :( o well i guess its time to shrink my map. unless som1 has an idea.

Battlenet there are no map size limits on battle net or atlest I think becuase some maps I have are to big for lan but can be hosted on bnet.

There is a max size of 4MB applied to maps for playing on BNet (not 100% sure about if this also applies to a LAN).

There is a limit of 4MB on both BNET and LAN.
Some models/skins can take a lot of space, open the import manager and make sure you dont have large models, also make sure to check size of sounds/music (if you have any).

If you have tons of doodads, get rid of a lot of them.

Heavylocker's minimap optimization is pretty good. I wanted to add it to the optimizer but I am not good at handling blps

Doodads don't increese the size, drastictly.
