What makes the file size bigger by more, triggers or doodads? Currently my map is slightly over 100 kb and i still have about as many triggers as ive already done and a large amount of doodads. The map size is classified as large but do you think this will end up being too big of a file size by the time im done?

alot of doodads is worse than a whole buncha triggers

I may be wrong but I believe triggers are simply text going about a code to make something happen, not much space needed, consider it ike a notepad thingy, plain ole .txt file is like smaller than pea

but doodads takes up space causes lag etc. (lag if alot of doodads are in, alot alot)

yea its always hard to try and keep file size down, and you dont wanna get rid of all ur cool pretty dodads:ggani:

I think variables add a bit, like they are only 1 kb each but in mine and my mates map we got ova 100 so overall it does add up

around 500kb map and below shouldnt be any problem. Anything under 1 mb isnt really a problem unless the person has 56k.

When it says large that means the terrain size not file size. 100k is tiny for file size. Dont worry about file size unless it gets over 1 meg. 300-500 is about normal for maps with much to them.
