What is the maximum filesize?

What is the "maximum filesize" above wich nobody would download a map? Just interested.

The max file size is about 4 mb if I remember right, But theres all kinds of tools that can shrink the file size now.

The absolute max is 4MB for a MP map.

The realistic max is somewhere around 1 MB unless I know the map to be good or there is an obvious reason why it is bigger (eg: futuristic setting). Any bigger usually means wastage, which implies bad map design.

Wrong section, this is fo finished map or map projects and not map support.

There is no maximum file size above which nobody would download a map. It depends on people's preferences, whether they want to download the map or not. (Personally I would not download any map that is above 3 MB, the exception lies within DotA)

However if you're referring to the maximum map file size allowed to host in Battle.net then it is 4 MB. A map of size 4 MB or more will not be allowed to host in Battle.net. This only applies to single custom maps however.

Custom campaigns' map sizes may reach up to 10 MB per map size. If you are willing to wait to download the map then do it. Nobody's limiting you.

I'll contribute to the discussion by adding that you may no longer host maps larger than 4 MB on LAN or Custom Game either (changed a few patches ago, whereas you previously could host maps of practicly unlimited size).

Simply dont import 9999999999999999999 models and you are fine

I'm using a huge map size, around 20 models and a lot of icons and my map size is 1,14mb xD

Hmm, thaks for the information. And thanks for moving the thread, I wasn't exactly sure if this fits here, but couldn't find any better places.
