My file is to big for battle.net

[1_weponman_1]

Hey guys,

my huge rpg/battle map is 5mb, and is unable to be hosted on battle net. How do alot of people compress their file if their map is epic? ive seen alot of epic maps and they are all below what i have. and they're bigger than mine! is there any particular reason why my map might be so big?? i really wanna play it on battle net to test, but i cant!!

Well u can use Vexorian's Map Optimizer NICE tool to reduce the filesize it can be found in this site in tools section, ur map must be less than 4Mb (Megabytes) to be playable on Battle Net thats all I can say, also u can try to remove useless models,sounds etc to reduce filesize

You should prioritize about file size since urs is an ORPG right? Multiplayer Games should focus on size, rather than custom stuff and load time.
