I Have A Problem With My Map...

[Miss_Foxy]

Erm, well... I'm really sorry for asking this but, right after I made my map, it worked really fine and just the way I wanted it to, and it also could be tested... But after I saved it inside my Downloads folder, I couldn't find the map when I was playing on Single Player... I tried to move it to the Scenario folder but the same thing happened... Could somebody tell me why please The file size is supposed to be really small since I used the smallest possible map size and I lowered the camera bounds, it was about 15 MB... Also, it is a W3X file just like any others... Please help me...

Map size shouldn't be a problem, I tested an 8.5 MB map but still.. 15MB?

Check the saved file name, if its really long you got to shorten it.

First of you should know that 15 MB is extremly much (too much) for warcraft.
The maximum size of multiplayer maps is 8 mb and maps with more can't be hosted.

For your problem try light_bolt30's solution:

Warcraft has problems with long filenames. (not the mapname IN the map just the w3x file)
(somehow reminds me of DOS )
So be sure your filename is not too lon g

Sorry... I meant 15 KB*...

Edit: It was 16 KB... And I'll inform you once I change its name, because I have to admit, it is long...

PS: Just a little question, how long can the name be at maximum?

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Bump! Erm... I tried changing its name, but sadly, it didn't work... Please help me, somebody...

The map won't show on the list if the file name exceeds 35 characters (39 characters total if file extensions are included)

Post the map here and i'll take a look..
And never double post.

Try and copy and paste it into the Frozen Throne files folder?
