Custom Skins!? (0 kb)

[Chief-Oblivion]

Okay so i was making a map with alot of custom skins.. and suddenly everything i selected with a custom skin didnt work.. i looked at import editor and nothing was wrong except EVERY import was 0 kb.. what happened...!?

Ehh.. Problem solved.. I have no idea why or how but the skins work in normal world editor but not in newgen..? =O

It happens more often that all imports suddenly show to be 0kb filesize. In that case, 3 things are possible:
1) Nothing is wrong and everything works just fine. It only shows 0kb and will change back to normal when restarting the WE.
2) You have to replace a specific import and everything will restore to normal file size. The import that needs to be replaced doesn't necessarily have to be the last imported file. Until the imports have their original file size back, no imports will be detected in the WE.
3) You have to replace every single imported file. The imports will be recognised again once that specific import has been replaced.

Well its fixed.. For some reason the imports didnt work in newgen.. i restarted newgen over and over then i went into WE and it worked just fine.. dunno what it was..

yeah i don't understand imported files i mean some of them seem like maybe they lag the map or something...i don't really have a basis for this but man having files that make your map big sucks cuz the maps are taking forever to download on bnet plus you can't host a map over 4 or 5 megs or whatever the limit is which is really lame.

If there were maps over 4.1MB (which is the limit to host on b.net), then wouldn't the download time only take longer?

ROFL avator Read above you. Bnet doesnt allow it cuz there servers cant handle the massive maps coming in with all that. So they limit this to make us map makers focus on space. It saves them alot of money by not buying a bigger generater also saves us the time of dling a map with like 10MB cuz ull be there forever lol.

Get better internetz? xD Even with a crappy 2mbps you can dl maps fast.

The internet barely changes download speed on battle.net lately. If you got a 4MB map, it'll take minutes to download over battle.net servers. If you download them outside the game on a map-uploading site, it would make a big difference. In my case, that same 4MB map would be downloaded in mere seconds.
