O man I made it too long

My cinematic is 15 mins long and its to big! How do i cut them half or something to make 2 maps that are like 7 mins each?

copy the map and make the first one have half the triggers, and the second one the other half of triggers

WTF?!?!?!?! I cut it in half to 7 min each and it still doesent work!

What do you mean? Anyways, why would it matter? It doesn't matter too much about the length unless you need it for a contest or something.

@ Purge - Or if it's a matter of upload size...

@ d_man - You need to add the starting triggers to the second one at the beginning too, like "Turn on Cinematic mode" and stuff.
Also don't forget the map initialization event.

OK the thing works i mean i can test it and it works perfectly but when i try to use it to put in cinematic archive it says can download and when i go on battle net and i make game it says file size to big. This has happened to all of my maps I have made except one. I mean i just tried to test this map wit others online and it said map file size to big. O ya for my new map file size it isnt the big its smaller then a dota map and there is only like 15 downloaded model files.

Filesize has to be below 4MB. If it isn't, too bad.

I don't know why you're hosting it on bnet anyway if it's a cinematic...

But yeah, 4MB limit for bnet. That's why single-player maps are better because there's no file size limit whatsoever*!



*Maximum size depends on where you host the map. For Hive I think it's unlimited, but for wc3c it's something tiny like 5MB. http://war3.incgamers.com says it has a 10MB limit, but if the map is good enough they let it go over.
