Don't import tons of stuff.
Try to delete most of your imports.

if u have a lot of imported files thats a start, just delete things that are bonuses, such as music

 

[Shadowy Fear]

The max file size for bnet is 4 mb, so try and cut down on imports --- espically long segments of music as models!

 

[PwnThePanda]

If you have a cutom loading screen and you don't have 700kb left make it 75%quality after saving it on wc3 image extracter to downsize it to like 100kb or 200kb

Actually on this topic i was wondering. You say bnet max filesize is 4mb - what about when hosting a lan map? Im pretty sure i was limited before but this was quite a few patches ago, has anything changed?

 

[BrokenX]

Well, b.net doesn't like people using files larger then 4.1mb for some reason obviously because its a damn huge file... I can't say any more then that...

[PwnThePanda]

But why do they care if the file is huge?

 

[lordloki]

It has to do with bandwidth as well as security...

As for running games on Lan larger than 4 mb, the lan engine is the same as when your on Bnet. Its the multiplayer aspect of WC3 so no , anything over 4.1 will not work.

 

[BrokenX]

Exactly what that fellow has said. B.net is just weak in some ways , but most of the good ways cover the bad .

think about it, do you think their server would survive if there were like 3 100MB maps going at the same time with lots of 4-10 MB maps as well? i dont think so... to downsize your map, use W3 strings and dont have tons of icons/music and stuff that are imported, no one really cares that much

 

[Shadowy Fear]

Haha, it would increase downloading time as well --- take three days to download one map, espicially with server down

 

[Demonfaze]

Any map above like 2.5mb takes way, way too long to download in my opinion. It ruins the map and whatever takes up that much space 99% of the time isn't worth it if it makes the map that big.

If it is a "Campaign" delete a few maps off...

 

[YedrawsTooth]

[PwnThePanda]
