Map Resizing

[MaD_cOw_DiSeAsE]

Hey, I was wondering, is there a way with a mod or something that you can increase the file size of the map? Because there are a lot of good models and skins out there but you can only have a couple in your map, and I noticed that NOTD seemed to have a lot of KBs, thanks!

if you import things your map file size will increase

your not limited to the amount of models/skin you can have and why the heck do you want a bigger file size?

I think he wants to fudge the maximum amount on Bnet so he can have more than "a couple". I'm willing to be whatever custom files he downloaded are huge.

Have you considered looking for alternative models with lower file sizes?

If you're using WoW models, they are huge in filesize and really shouldn't be in a WC3 map. The file size limit only applies over B.Net, by the way.

I added a bunch of SC models and sounds and when I tried to open the map it said 'Map file too big, please pick another map" So I take it there isn't a way, but do you at least know the maximum size for it?

The maximum size for battle.net is around 4,080 KB (4.xx mb), use Vexorian's Map Optimizer to reduce map size, i think it is on this site.

Okay what you can do is squish the models, then after this you can protect the map, this should give you around 1,000 more KB.
