... its a model. that is about 1300kb big. How did it get approved? xD

because its been 7 god damn years and standards have changed, back when resources were scarce people weren't really concerned about file size cause you'd only have like 3 imports in your map anyway.

also, at this point they're kept as sort of antiques. Looking back at resources people put up long, long gone is always a little chilling.

Imagine after 20 years, these will become relics!

Well if the whole terrain would be in one model then I would download the sized model.

Currently, we are approving some pretty lame low-quality shit in SC2 section, too, just because we have nothing better. After some time, the standarts for SC2 modding will grow, too, and you won't be able to upload any piece of junk to get it approved.

Loool back then the map limit was still 4mb? ^^

I can understand it at a certain point, but... at another

wc3sear.ch didn't really have much resource moderation.
Back in those times pretty much every model was accepted to the database.

From the screenshot, it looks like a fine model. Optimize it if you don't like the filesize, ignore it if you don't like the filesize but don't start a stupid thread questioning it, trying to get some attention.

It's 2004, how much of an idiot are you?

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

you don't have to import some skins that model is using since they are ingame skins
you can compress the filesize of blp images (there probably weren't that many tools to do that back then)
you can import the model into your map and it will be compressed by a fairly good amount automatically

Way more than that
My map (in my sig) is 3.6 MB and it has 8 MB of imports O.O

Magic. *snorts*



Like other people said, we had lower standards back when the model database was still in the wc3sear.ch era.
Though the model itself looks good, and people can use the available tools to compress the filesizes.
