Models import for a battle.net map

Hi I'm doing a skirmish map with more than the 4 initial races, I want to add dwarfs, blood elfs, trolls, goblins, nerubians, skeletons, demons, centaurs, taurens and nagas. I have all the models imported, but the problem is that the map archive is too big for playing it in battle.net. I have tried to put the models into the warcraft 3 directory: I can see the models in the warcraft 3 editor but the models cannot be viewed in the game.
The total map size is 17 Mb.
Anybody knows a way to do a map with many archives imported that can be played online?
Thank you!!! :wink:

17 MB lol? I think you cannot host a map with more than 4MB at battle.net. Through I heard it was 4MB, maybe i am wrong.

A way to reduce the size without erasing the imported models

Thank you. But you know a way to reduce the size of the map? for example: creating a mpq archive with the models appart from the map (I have done it but it doesn't solve anything)
Thank you again!!! :wink:

No. I don't know a way to reduce the size. The only way to reduce the size is deleting some of the models. But you sure have a lot of models.

Thanks

OK, thanks!
If you want, and you have a map project, we can do it together. And I would like you help me giving ideas for my maps and my models.
If you want, you can add me to messenger if you have it:
