im trying to cheat a map but when i finish its over 4mb and i can not host it.
so i looked around the forum and i found
wc3mapoptimizer4.0
probobly a general name. well inorder to help u guys understand what im talking about here is the name of the .exe file

VXJWTSOPT.exe

no idea what this letters stand for.
and i got it from xAntans rly big guide. (i know its old but i dont know any other programs that optimize maps)
well im playing with this program for several hours now! and i just cant make my map smaller!
no matter what options in there i tick on/off. map is unhostable (critical error > shut down wc3)
even when everything is ticked off (besides the 1 option that deletes comments and spaces coz its canot be turned off) it happens.

so are there any other programs > ways to shrink maps?

map plox.

but when i use the SAVE AS btn. it says

"unable to create a tasklist, there is no file inside mpq"

is there a way to change the opening movie?
coz there is an opnneing movie and when u play it alot of times. it gets si boring.
the map file is 4.00mb so i think that if ill delete that cinema thingy it will be 3.99 and hostable...

Maybe you dont have war3 installed or you have compatibility issues ( maybe administrative too )

What option did you enable?

well here are the options

"Only add english files"
"auto detect" (bottom left under the "table size auto")
"auto detect" (under buffer size)
Wave smthing thingy...
Highest. (least space)

Try zlib deflate.. if the map is shrinked more than 60% then its a fail (most cases)

If you think you cant handle it, try making a post in the requests about it.
