New Patch - Basic Questions

[darwin]

Hivers,

Judging from the discussion, most of you know much more about programming than I do. I have some very simple basic questions about the patch that I'm hoping you can answer.

1. 8MB limit. Can I make multiplayer games that are 50MB large and host them on BattleNet now?

2. Do I still need to use custom script to remove point and unit group leaks?

3. Other than the 8MB limit change, is there anything that I should do differently about map-making now that this patch is here?

Thanks,

Darwin

1. yes
2. yes
3. don't restrict yourself on imports usage, they're an element to make your map yours

Not try to hide command card buttons. Still limit yourself to BLP textures at most 512*512 as any mipmap levels higher than that will not be used in game.
