holy bogmeister batman! you made a map that big?! well i highly reccomend cutting down on the models and skins and all that and whatnot, because even if you get it onto battle.net at that size, NOBODY will wont to wait for it to dl.

that part i already take care
but dude if i remove my new models i used 3d max studio and the icons the map will be sucks
the good thing on my map is (new abilitys , new models and icons) beacuse the terrain map its sucks
anyway i will find a way to put on battle.net and also is not finish yet..
i just read about "4mb limit" and i thought that was joke but when i creat a new map and add a music with 4mb and try to load on battle.net shows a message
"Map too big , please choose another map" grrrr i this ****** limit

Yea, dont waste your map size room on icons, best use it for doodads or units (and graphics) not everyone has a good enough connection to make it through a dl of 8+ MB and blizzard does not support that

doesnt have to use a good conection i will use all conection from blizzard not from dler
and also i will give sites to dl..

nevertheless, its just not worth it, throw out the models they take up way too much, and icons are ok as long as they are less than 10k each.

dude model is the huge part of my game .... i cannoot stay if old models from w3
anyway i will figure it out how to make it 4mb or i can just give up
without new models my map is nothing ( well thx for posting "

I was over 4mb too, but I was able to optimize my way under it.

 

[BlizzScripts]

ya sud but i dont realy think optmizer can optimize 8mb to 4mb
but anyway thx for the tip

I know... Optomise it like 5 times.... Or just change to models/skins and make them simpiler.

 

[BlizzScripts]

ok dota-crime, what models are you using? and what sizes are they? there might be some that have a very good lookalike in regular wc3, and also, no people will NOT want to wait 10 mins for a bunch of models to load. remember that custom models should be used sparingly, if at all. your map wont be crap just because it has n custom models, drop a few (i would do all but you seem overly attached to them so) that you dont need, and try to get it below 2 megs, ause this is generally the longest anyone will wait for dl on b.net.
