Whats the max size you can make a map and still be able to play it on the internet?

I have a bunch of custom maps but when I try to host it online it says the map file is too big. I know this is due to all the custom models so what is the maxium capacity of a map.

The maximum size is 4mb. It may actually be 3.999999mb, I don't know, but the commonly held belief is that it's 4mb.

It's 4.1mb as far as I know O_O

I wonder if anyone has just went adding kilobyte by kilobyte to a map, saving multiple different size versions. It would be useful to finally know, without a doubt, what the max size is. Anyways, it's around 4-4.1mb.

Since you have admitted you have a ton of custom models, use the mdx squisher to decrease their size and therefore lower your total map size.

The difference is noticeable only ingame. Also, it doesn't work with all models...

thank you very much.

The max size is 4090KB

does that count for Campaigns?

 

[FriXionX]

Nope. Campaigns can be as big as they like i think. Ive seen one with about 69MB

I believe Campaigns have their maximum size much bigger. I once heard from somewhere that it's about 150Mb ( somwhere in the 400mb campaign topic I think )

I dont think theres any limit for how big a campaign can be. Then theres probably just a limit for how much you can upload on the different homepages

Yes, that's it. My mistake, anyway.

And this is solved already.

From what I know, the max is 5 MBs from the knowledge of model gods of THW and tested by me. And just an FYI, yes, it used to be 4,090 MBs, it was changed.

Edit: Online only.
