If it's big because of skins, I can tell you how to knock off a lot.

Export all skins.
Convert to .tga
Open in Photoshop.
Make then half as big as they are now (ie. If 512x512, make it 256x256)
Save.
Convert back to .blp
Import.

Hope it helps.

Imported Music? There is none. It is big becasue of skins. I need to knock atleast 500kb off of it.

Edit: I will try the editing thing, but isn't there a compressor somewhere? :\

There is no way to just compress a map as far as I know. Just do what I told you to do, if it's all skins it should knock off quite a bit.

Blackdick's Heavy locker can optomise your map and take some off, not 500Kb but it might help. not sure where you can find it though.

Agreed with Kam, 500 KB is quite an amount. It may not look *too* much, but it actually is. Anyway, this is a pretty old thread already Kam.
