Map size to big?

[Koopa124]

When I try to host my map on WC3, it keeps telling me the map size is to big. IS there a way to compress a map, or remove the size limit?

Download Vex's map optimizer from the tool section.

And PitzerMike's widgetizer.

Although the Widgetizer is a very useful tool, it might make the map a little bit bigger, very miniscule though, only reason not to use it is because of size limitations.

remove some model or icons... im pretty sure there is a few that is not important in the map.

The map size is over 4 mb (and something more) right, because it might give problems then?.

There are several ways to reduce size.

1. some external compressor (like avove mentioned)
2. you reduce amount of imported things (like mentioned above )
3. You compress the triggers (like instead of 8 triggers with always same code... only with player difference, you can also write one trigger where you add some conditions)

There are some others, but these would reduce quality of map (like reducing terrain)


Hope that helped

I think that reducing imports would be the easiest option. compressing triggers (probably) will not clear a lot of space and might make triggers just a lot more complicated. Never tried to use a compressor (don't know how to do so ), but they might just be useful

If you have a lot of imports that you did''t use at the end, well then it might be easy to fix.

if you think it's still big you could try this on Vex's wc3 map optimizer - check all including remove as much we stuff, set new buffer size to the max and if you have a lot of models use mdx squisher.
