    Showshoe error HELP! (MJ5)

    I have been working on my Vietnam Outpost map for the Map Jam and ran into a Showshoe error when I try to publish it. It tells me the "map may be too large. Try removing some assets or simplifying your terrain" Uhhhh. What? There are meters to help you keep an eye on that! Nothing is maxed, except for water(would that cause an issue at 100%?). Objects/memory etc are around 65% I'm hoping to get this entered into the contest but have no clue what to do at this point. Validation is fine; I can actually play the map, not just Explore. This is beyond frustrating. I even took a day off work to get it finished. Any help would be appreciated!

    Go to areas that the player wont see and start flattening terrain till it works. The more terrain you flatten the less the level filesize

    Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think I have much terrain to get rid of. I stretched it as much as I could, based off the memory meter things.This is such a pain. I'll give it a shot this evening. Hoping I can get it working tonight!

    If you are on PC, find your "usermaps" folder and see the file. It has to be less than 1.96 mb so you dont get that error. Keep flattening terrain or removing objects until you get s file-size lower than that.

    Got it working! Thanks for the help. I'm on PS4, but that PC file size tip would be handy. The flattening the terrain outside the map boundries did the trick for me. I even ended up adding some other detail to it. I think I kinda went overboard on the map size this time. First map; Now I know.
