Decreasing Load Time

From what Ive read I need to reduce the amount of triggers but ive got to the point where I cant reduce much more without making things very complicated, especially with triggers that need custom text. I still have around 250 triggers... There must be some other way whether inside or outside WE to reduce load time, for example whatever True.Rus did to the DotA maps.

try use one WTS Inliner or the tool created by True.Rus him self :) they should reduce it

you can d/l it from the "tools" section of the website :)

You can use PitzerMikes new Tool the Widgetizer too, but it will increase the map size, at least for me... so its up to you which Tool suits you the best.

Vexorian's is also a good idea.

Try deleting the cliff doodads (normally can't be seen)...

Also, try to use less custom skins, those can take up a lot of space.

he mainly wants to decrease the loading time not really the size of the map! And i believe to big compression increase loading time again...so thats not what he want :P

Cheers guys, I tried the Inliner 1.02 works well but I cant do much else to the map after using it... as in protection and optimisation wise. True's optimisation tool was good too. Was a bit unsure about trying the Widgetizer think theres still some bugs to iron out. Although I found Vexorians Optimisation the best.. reduced load time from 40 secs to 15 secs and map size down from 1.7mb to 1.2mb.

Thanks.
