Yesterday i wanted to upload a beta version to test some things. It didnt work.
After reading countless threads about blizzards horrible map publishing system (which creates tons of complicated scenarios where you simply cant upload your map to bnet), ive found out that i cant upload my map because it is 8.6mb in size.
I was like "eh wtf?!", because blizzard said that you have 50mb total for up to 10 maps. now the upload manager tells you that you can have 10.5mb maximum map size, which is already horrible compared to the promised 50mb, but would atleast make my beta work. But i doesnt work. After talking to some people they told me that everything above 3mb causes problems. oh great...ive deleted all my imported files, making my map 1.8mb in size. i tried to upload, and guess... it worked. yay! so i can make a wow map but no importing is possible.
wow even wc3 editor was better, allowing 8mb and wc3 stuff was much smaller. ill stop working on my map until that is crap is fixed. blizz so bad.
or is there anything i understood wrong? can anyone confirm that you can upload maps with a size of about 10mb? or is there really this invisible limit of 3mb? i know people say that there are many factors that affect the annoying map publishing, but removing all imported files and than having it work seems to show that its a clear issue?!
as far as i can tell it doesn't take compression into consideration when you publish the map. for me keeping my map below 10.5mb uncompressed is required.
coincidentally this is around the 5mb mark.

any clarification would be nice, thx in advance

The limit should be 10mb... I would recommend submitting your map to the broken maps area

I have the same problem, the real map size limit is 5mb! Anything that is bigger than 5mb wont work.
Good job blizzard...
it funny, it is only in the EU version that the limit is still 5mb, in US they can upload maps upto 10,5mb
Umm, no it's not.

Yep, Same thing here. Wtf.
Has anyone uploaded or seen a 8meg+ map on b.net?
