i have a very large map, and i dont think i can upload it

[SaPheRY]

i tryed uploading a trailer to the warhammer movie im making, though the map size (when zipped) is 19.5 MB! and it didnt wrk, so i thought it must be the file size..pretty much all i need to bring the size down to about 5mb (tops) is sumthing to change wav files to .midi (or any small sound file)

anybody know any programmes or sumthing i can get?

Sadly, there's no way to get .mid music to play in Warcraft 3. You can, however, reduce the quality of the sound with whatever program you're using, and change it to .mp3. Warcraft 3 recognizeds .wav and .mp3.

For reference, apparently a midi device *is* used in-game to create a few ambient noise effects, but that midi isn't available to use for music, sadly.

Your only chances at reducing filesize are cutting down the length, quantity, and quality of your existing sound files.

Usually, sound files aren't critically important to the feel of something, but I can appreciate that you'd want them for a cinematic.

If you've got a good cine and it's largely finished, you might try to apply for hosting in order to upload it to an FTP on-site.

apply for hosting?

does that mean i ask the mods if they'll host a map for me if its too big just to be uploaded?

if so ill wait till ive completly finished my map before asking, its just i thought u guyz may be able to give me sum advice on sum things after watching

bnet has a file size limit for multi player maps, i know 6 mb is to big for bnet so the trailer is single player only =\
