about the ed_01m.tga - fabianfred - 15.05.2008

mine is 150 mb. hock:

when saving a tga in PS we have the option of 16/24/32 bit...I usually use 24 bit for this and other RGB files...and 32 bit when there is an alpha channel

is there nothing I can do to reduce the size of it...??........my whole map in rar is 90 mb....and it isn't even finished yet!

... reduce dimension .... make it as map_t and h ... not map_c

I always thought that Map C was four times map h/t....and map F was twice map t/h...and ed_01 same size as map F and ed_02 half size of ed_01..... :?

.... i have it same dimensions as map_h/T ( ed_01) and half of it as ed_02 for my Croatia+ ... works fine and decreased loading time drastically


didn't try to make them even smaller ..... but it is worth to try


cheers

Thanks Fly....I'll give it a try

I noticed some maps have an ed_03m which is half again

and one map I noticed had the ed_o1m as an indexed colour...not RGB....don't know what effect that has..!?

The size of the ed** maps does not seem to matter.
Make them as small as possible to reduce loading times on large maps.
I am using size = map_T
