> I made only a few small changes to a basic map and the file is over 200k. I see other maps that have a lot of terrain and unit changes that are 20k. Why?
Could be alot of reasons why. A larger map, saving the bit map (lots of memory for this), any Mod changes, and just the layout of the map. A good size map is about 100 by 100.
If you use things like sound for triggers, this also uses much memory to save.
The largest map I`ve made is 632kb and the smallest only about 32kb. But my par for maps are A little over the 200kb mark. Hope any of this helped.
