I have several more maps and updates to post regarding large projects like these, so check back often!

Also, lets welcome Rui, the new maps mod who will help me out in the ever-so-growing maps section. And Daelin is now moderating in the icons section.

Regarding two posts down, we ARE taking oversized maps again. Contact me if you need any upload. Sorry for the false alarm.

Two years ago today wc3sear.ch began its legacy.

Starting today wc3sear.ch will no longer be accepting oversized maps or maps that otherwise cannot be submitted via the standard upload feature. The reason for this is that we simply do not have the database support needed to get these maps uploaded in a timely manner. Never again will I have mappers waiting 4+ months just to get their works put up, so I am dropping that service altogher...or at least until further notice.

Nothing big, just a bunch of unneeded GUI fixes (who does actually use GUI?) and some misterious Tournament events, actions and calls.

Edit: Patch 1.19b is out, contains a fix to a crash in multiplayer games.
