I'll try to keep this short and simple and I hope it's okay for me to make a thread asking this.
Basically, I was a WC3 map maker and wanted to recreate my old map for SC2, up until now I've been thinking of doing a reskinned sci-fi version and use SC2 units and models, but the new Warcraft: A New Dawn that was posted on the front page got me thinking about importing models, skins, sounds but I was wondering how much size it would take up.
Does it seem possible to import between 20 and 30 Warcraft models into a SC2 map (With sounds and everything else you'd need), or would that most likely exceed the limited size for a SC2 map? And what is the max file size? I can't seem to find enough sources saying the same thing using google.
just make it into several mods/dependencies to avoid upload time cap (around 2 minutes max for any one map/mod.. more than that cap and the upload will fail)

ps: love lurkers in star1, sad to know there are so many on forums... soooooo: wilkomen bienvenu welcome aligato to mapster
Upload cap is 2 minutes or 20Mb per file, 100 Mb total space per account. Im sure you'll be fine with importing a lot of assets, but you might need to use 2 mod files (In my experience each unit can take up to 1 Mb of space, so 30 units would require 2 mods)
Also, welcome to sc2mapster! Make sure to check out Map Night if you're on the EU, and also watch sc2streamster (Almost daily, you'll see announcements on the frontpage before they start. Dont have the link to the thread anywhere nearby, so use the search function for more info :) )
If you need help, feel free to PM me!
And last but not least, I hereby give you the welcome gift so many of the other people are already annoyed at for me giving it out anytime: The permission to buy us all a round of drinks. (I'll take a pepsi)

Hey guys!
Long time lurker, first time writer.
I'll try to keep this short and simple and I hope it's okay for me to make a thread asking this.

Thanks in advance. :)
@Jayve: Go
You have 10 MB. My hunch is that you'd be fine.

hope to awe at your map soon ;)
Isn't it 20MB now?
See this is why I'm so confused. :D
Thanks for the feedback guys. <3 I've missed the map maker communities.
20 sluts (loove typos sorry ;^p )
and mine says 15/105 megabytes
(but again the upload time cap remains)
edit ps: ill take a rum punch (heavy on the juices low on the brain damaging products :) that's if you're buying ;^p )
