I have made a misson for canons bob map and it has a size of 426 kb.
When a friend tryes to load it on hes server he gets an error as something like size to large 400..

Is there really a limit for size for the servers to run??

Ive runned the map as a dogfight server from my own computer (not as dedicated server) and it has then runed nice but takes about 1.5 minutes to load as its covered with aaa and other objects!

G'day Hawk, I not sure what the size limit is for missions, but as is the case with most things, try to stick to the KISS principle & don't place objects where no one will see them. My biggest mission to date is the one I'm working on, which is about 75kb's & the size is bothering me. Might I suggest that you try for quality & not quantity. For example download my "BoB 1940" missions that use canons bob map, the biggest is 32kb's, but they work very well & are very popular. You can PM me if you want to & I will be quite happy to help you, if I can. :wink:

There's no limit on the size of the mission file but there's a limit on how many waypoints you can have.
I've got mission files that are almost 2mb in size that have thousands of ground units on each side.
Takes quite long time to load if their online missions.

I don't remember what the waypoint limit was but when you've got them too many the units don't follow the waypoints any more.They are either standing still or moving in the wrong direction.

Ty guys for your replays.

AJD-NZ ty but i know how to make smaller missions and how to make them work good.

Problem is with the new large maps and when you want to use the entire map you cant just have a flak gun here and a flak gun there and a object here and a object there as the athmosphere would be rather dull in my opinion.

The mission i was making was to be used online on a DF server with moving mod on and several targets both in england and france for the bomber guys to have some fun on.

Also ai bomb and fighter formations that could be attacked as they now fight back when in dogfight server with DF mod installed.
This so people could add up either as bomber escourt or fly fighterformation or just having a blast attacking enemy formations so even if alone in server its not dull.

I usually dont make to many waypoints so havent had that problem but ty alot letku for telling me about the problem so i know that one now!

The work just to place out all the flak on both sides tok ages as i placed them out one by one (no wrench monkey used here)
Over airfields and larger cities the flak is concentrated but its fully possible to fly around in france without getting shoot down and in england too as long as you know the corridors!

Here are some pics if you want to se. my name there is X52Hawk
