Too big map

[Rapeart]

I made my own map, i can just play it offline, but when i try to host a LAN game it says the map size is too big, but i can host maps that are way bigger, what's wrong?

Map size (file size) limit is 4 Megabyte

I took a look at my object editor and found out some models where just ridiculously big, i deleted those, and now i can play again, thanks

rapeart you could also optimize ur map so your map gets even more smaller.

...by a whopping 40kb. Its not worth the risk of screwing up your map.

safer way

most of the time its not the models that are big its the BLPs... using a program like warcraft 3 viewer you can get away with reducing the quality of the BLP there by lowering its size (without bringing any harm to the map) incase you have alot of models ya just dont wanna do without =)
