Even though when it's in the archive it's only 25kb - it still slows the game down. It's modified and there's only about 30 things in there (instead of a couple of hundred) Is there something I can do to speed it back up?
It probably isnt the spells. Ive never known spells to slow down the map. I mean really, they are loaded from the war3patch.mpq if not from the game. All it does is add more upload time.
when i used those wierd spell editors. just open the .slk with wordpad or excel or somthing and edit it in their. I think there is a tutotial on how to to this. Worked for me!
I don't use spell editors, didn't even know they worked right - I think they would be limited. I do everythign manually, and I have about 17 imported files into the MPQ map file, but when I remove the ability one everything works fine, no slowdowns.
As in all MPQ modding you can delete what you don't use, if for soem reason you do use later on without realising it was deleted (say it was attack) then attack would not be visible. That's all.
