[Mr.Fuzz]

Ok so whenever I try to host meh map it says MAP FILE SIZE TOO BIG Blah blah blah

Is there anyway to fix it? or do I just have to get rid of stuff ?

You have to make the filesize of your map smaller, it may only work if the size of your map is below 8 MB.

I haven't tried it, but you can use other servers like Garena. Or else, you're screwed (8mb is the limit).
There are tools like the Widgetizer and Vexorian's Map Optimizer that reduce map size. Search them out on the web.

Here's a tip: don't import too much files.
Models, skins and icons are good, but ONLY if they actually fit your map.
A custom UI is usually not necessary and - in most cases - doesn't really fit the rest of the map.

If you use music, either remove it if it doesn't fit the map, or you can decompress it (64 kbps is reasonable for a map).
If the music is looped, perhaps you can cut it as well.

Otherwise, you can do what GhostThruster said: use Vexorian's Map Optimizer and hope the filesize will be compressed enough.

I seem to remember that the maximum file size is around 8 megabytes. You don't need any models, skins or icons to get a good map, trust me. You could also try to get as much models as you can from the hidden Warcraft Units/Missiles/Etc list, which is located in the link beneath.
