my map

[Mistix]

Im making a rpg map and i have alot of imports... and i was wondering ,what the max amount of import kb u can have befor it will say cant create map (because its to big)..
Thanks Ahead of time

Approximately 4000kb (4MB) The import manager size display does not tell you accurately all the sizes of the files you've imported though!

Would the model's be a problem? because i have a map with 4000+ models and on my other map its 1600... and it has alot more imports also. i dunno

 

[Sopho]

Models do take alot of space but you have imported over 4000?! Thats unbelievable, and its still lower than 4000kb (4MB) if it is then you can still play it online and offline.

no no lol i dont have 4000 imported models, i have bout 27 models in total but what i was saying is when u load ur map in We and the progress bar pops up and says the doodads etc. it says i have 4086 models but i have 66 imported files in all...


Side Note: on my other map i have 78 imported files in all and i can still make it on bnet.

Oh, when loading or saving a map it will say loading/saving the amount of models you placed in the map, for example you have 5 footman and save the map, obviously it would go like: 1/5 and go to 5/5. The saving/loading of the bar won't increase or decrease it doesn't vary upon how much imported models you imported.

 

[Mistix]

so pretty much i should just take out some imports and play on from there?

 

[Sopho]

When the models are loading/saving (the bar) and its alot, its fine because adding alot of blizzards' models such as archers, barracks etc won't really increase the size of your map but it will still.
Remember not all models take up alot of space, the amount of models you imported won't be added into the bar for saving/loading models.

so what do u think should do to be able to test it over the net?

 

[Sopho]

If the map size is below 4000kb (4MB) then yes, you can test it in battle.net but if its too big, you won't be able to host it. Remember test the map offline first for any bugs or problems and then go for battle.net
