I've been working on a campaign map and was hoping to get some feedback on it. I've been trying for the last couple of weeks to upload the map file and its been timing out and going to to an Error page. I randomly remember to give it a try during the week, it fails and then I go about my merry way, but now I'm getting frustrated! :) Just now, I tried to upload someone else's map and it works totally fine! Weird. I then noticed that my map file is a lot bigger than the other person's map file. Their file is around 6,000KB and mine is around 600,000KB!! I think this is an issue.
The map I made isn't crazy loaded. Its only 20 mins of gameplay, not a ton of units, simple triggers, couple cinematics and a lot of doodads...nothing crazy.
Does importing things do anything to your file size?
Hey folks,
I've been working on a campaign map and was hoping to get some feedback on it. I've been trying for the last couple of weeks to upload the map file and its been timing out and going to to an Error page. I randomly remember to give it a try during the week, it fails and then I go about my merry way, but now I'm getting frustrated! :) Just now, I tried to upload someone else's map and it works totally fine! Weird. I then noticed that my map file is a lot bigger than the other person's map file. Their file is around 6,000KB and mine is around 600,000KB!! I think this is an issue.
What do I do?
Wow that is quite huge! Maybe if you split a lot of the assets into mod files, then you would be able to upload it in pieces?

@Hockleberry: Go#
Imported things will usually take up the most space. I assume you imported a crap-load of things?
What 585 MiB how did you even why?
Don't import the contents of your entire hard drive into the map. Remove unneeded imports, or any conspicuously large 500+MiB files in the map MPQ.
Commonly people try to import their whole music database, delete it.
There should be an import overview section, clean that up
