Map too big

[carlosrules]

Well, i inserted the cheats (Thanks to JJ's cheat pack and the great tutorial) correctly, but now the map size is too big. It's currently at 4.2mb and i believe the max for warcraft is 4mb, if anyone can help me by reducing the map size and posting it back here it would be greatly appreciated.

It's called whatever name Vegas chooses to give it.

I thought heavylocker corrupted the map and made the minimap image retarded?

I think it depends on the type of protection. For SM USA, I tried using vex's, but I found it kept on screwing up various strings. Heavylock solved that problem. Dont think there was any jass or minimap corruption.

It only screws with the minimap if you choose to decrease the quality of the minimap image, to save space. Just don't choose that option. Actually, I've just been using WinMPQ to compress everything recently. As long as it isn't too much over, you can just compact it with ^P. I've got my fake AMH with Xantan's pack from 4.10mb to 3.95mb, and that's without flushing it. It even has a few ways to compress it! It's probably better than most of the optimizers. Vexorian's will either make it bigger, only shrink by .1mb (not enough, usually), or shrink it by 98.17%, and the map doesn't work.
