Map file size too big.

[xfirenzx]

I made a map that is 90x90(around that) and whenever i try to host it the game says "map file too big".

My map - 4.76MB (barely anything on it currently)

Example of a big map - World of Warcraft RPG - 638Kb and that maps size is around 140x140

Anyone know why my map file size is so big?

P.S I am using Reign of chaos editor.

Remove the imported song. You're the only one with that kind of taste anyway...

Anyway, that big a size clearly hints at imports you most likely don't need.
BNet's limit is 4mb.
And, actually, you should really try for less than 2.

Yeah never import music unless you have to.

And even if you have to make sure you compress it.

MP3 files take up a huge chunk of space.

1mb or less filesize means you can get going on a bnet game fast
1-2mb means it will take a little while to get going
2mb-3mb means it will take a a fairly long time to get going
3mb-4mb it will take forever to get your game going, if you do, it will take 5 minutes for 1 person to dl and people will leave a lot.
