[General] Map size

[mateuspv]

My map is a custom hero, has a few triggers, and pretty models, but the main issue which created the topic is:
Regarding the size of the map every new hero that I create, I create a custom unit or edit unit present in the editor (in relation to size / weight of the map) or really does not count many KB / MB
the same applies to skill?

Please if I was not clear enough let me know

thanks.

I dont understand much.

 

[Adiktuz]

yeah its not clear enough... but if it was comparison between file size used by unit data vs spell data, I think they don't differ much... (but only while they're on the OE)... ofc once you put a unit into the map, it would add more file size...

 

[Tleno]

Yes, custom data like new units and spells do add more filesize, but it's not as big as model or any other custom resource size... so you shouldn't worry about adding new units or abilities...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Yeah, almost every map here has it, except for melee maps.

 

[mateuspv]

Ok, you have managed to understand perfectly.
What does this leave the map size is large textures.
thank you all.

From what I know, the current map size limit is 8 MB, but I heard that Blizzard would update it a little more to suit the needs of better made maps, so don't worry.

My map has 3MB
A little high for "custom hero"
And lack enough triggers.
I try to create alone because but I have shame,asking for help.
I not want to "make a map" where I have done almost nothing.
My biggest obstacle is the English

It's 8.2MB for a multiplayer game and no-limit for a solo game...
To don't exceed, try to don't use too more imported things... And for the english : http://www.reverso.net/text_translation.aspx?lang=EN More sites of traduction like this... Write in your natal language and traduct !

It is 8 MB for a multiplayer map or 8192 KB.

This is because the limit is in computer scientist's units (1024, 2^10) and not normal science units (1000, 10^3).
