LAN question

[wacik]

I'm currently making a multiplayer map which will probably have a very high filesize by the time its finished and will be unplayable on bnet. However I would like to know if there is any limit for the map size on LAN or otherwise I would not be able to play it at all!

LAN or Single player the maximum map size for Warcraft III Patch 1.24- versions are 4MB while Warcraft III Patch 1.24b+ in a maximum of 8MB.

You mean to say that there is a size limit for single player maps too?! I once made one that was about 11Mb and it worked for me(on a very old patch too). So the bnet limit and LAN limit are both 8Mb on this patch. Does this mean that I won't be able to play maps that exceed this limit on LAN or that there will be a long delay? And btw my patch is 1.22.

This may seem as an ignorant post to the majority of posters, but I've never played on bnet nor LAN, so I have no idea on size limits and stuff like that.

BTW +rep to cboy

afaik you don't have a real "limit" in single player (maybe if you go beyond a few 100 mb but who wants to do that...)
lan and bnet maps need to be smaller than 8 mb or 4 mb with your patch as cboy said already
