MPQ Optimization

When I optimize my maps to save some space, I open up MPQ2K and delete these files:
  • war3map.wtg
  • war3map.wct
  • war3map.w3r
  • war3map.mmp
  • war3mapUnits.doo

When I delete those 5 files, rather than having a 2 minute loading time, it's reduced to around 5-30 seconds.

As I have been told, those files are obsolete when playing in a game, are there any more I can delete to help optimize it?

As much as i know you can also delete the war3map.w3c and war3map.w3s files, due they are only used by the WE.

You could just use Vex's map optimiser, which can do all that stuff and more.

Griffen, I don't mean to be rude, but I HAVE mentioned it in a few other threads that I use Mac, and I don't think MPQ2K is used on Windows...

In fact it is.
I didn't know there was a Mac version also.

Yeah, it's the one of 2 MPQ editors for OS X.
