File Huge

File Huge

My map file is 1.2mbs and i dont think it should be. i used a optimiser and encrypted it but it only went down by 100kb. i want to get it small so i can let people dl it quick in wc3.

Any good Ways to do this?

well, first i want to say that 1.2 MB arent that big...the map i do has over 2.5 .

and all the optimizers i think they cant reduce much more than 100 kb at a map size of 1200 kb.

still the best way is to take skins, icons, models and especially music and sounds that arent really needed, out.

100kb!? Wow...usually optimizers only reduce about 10kb per meg. Anyways, I covered this in my sticky "do's and dont's of map making." Check out there for tips on reducing map file size while keeping all your imported material.

Well if your using Vexorians Optimizer, then how much file space is reduced is based largly on the number of triggers you have. Like for instance my map size is reduced from 1 meg to about 600 kb becuase i have well over 150 triggers.

You can reduce size by just removing useless imported files. Or you can recheck your triggers make them smaller.

Says the person who used 128 triggers just for setting players alliances
