greetings - im a novice map maker - - slowly learning the ins and outs of unrealed - but heres sumthing im stumped by -
why are my maps so big??? - (the files that is) how can i keep my file size down without giving up map detail etc.
the most recent map i made is fairly small but the file is 2.5 megs -
compared to a map like DMcurse - which is bigger - has a lot more architecture to it etc - and is only 1.3 megs -
anyone have any tips here?

as for file size ? All my maps are too big !!! LOL
It's a hell of a craft to make something really small really rock. They are out there and they are beauties !!! Glad you're into making maps. We need all the talent we can find. Hang in there - it can be frustrating at times. But we WELCOME your hard work. Be sure to submit your maps to the Usermaps section. I look forward to seeing them. :-)

Re: File Size...
I couldn't agree more Flap, Another thing you can do also is open up maps like curse and look them over real well in the editor. You'd be surprised at how much you'll learn just by lookin at someone else's work. Keep at it.
