Help : Map Optimizer

[leena]

Hi, i am Leena, i have been working on a map for 1-3weeks, i have tried testing my map with my friends but warcraft says my map is too big.
I have tried using the 4.9 wc3 Map Optimizer but it only makes it 0.58% smaller.
Is there anything else i can do to reduce my map size?
Help appreciated.

I find it hard to believe you've been working on a map for 1-3 weeks (which one is it? ... 1, 2, or 3?) and managed to push it over 8 megs. But anyway:

Get rid of any unnecessary imports, reduce the amount of destructibles/doodads/units preplaced on the map, delete any custom objects (units, abilities, buffs, etc.) you have defined in the object editor that you don't use.

These next things wc3optimizer should already do but just in case:

-compress any imported blps to 50-75% quality (they look pretty much identical to 100% quality but have much smaller file sizes)
-get rid of any unnecessary triggers/comments/code

It isn't too hard to believe because i am one crazy girl
i am going to do the things that you have listed and come back with the results
Thank you for helping ^^ + rep-rep +
