WEU - map size troubles

Hi,

A couple weeks ago i installed WEU, and have been working on my map alot with it. I enabled advanced triggers, upgrades, and others, just to try out the new features. So far there are actually only a couple add-in triggers i'm actually using.

Now i notice that my map has jumped to 600k, even though there are no imported models, sounds etc. I try and open the optimizer, but it fails to work properly: When i click "optimize" it adds anywhere from 300k to doubling the size!!! luckily, i was able to restore it with my latest test version, so no harm done.

My question is, how can i lower the size from 600k? There are many features im not using, like tree models and advanced upgrades, that i have enabled anyway (and cant/dont know how to disable.) I dont really need the WEU features at all, i can just use the jass scripts. How can i put my map back, make it small again?

Thanks

PS. The triggers i use most would be "display as error message" and "sound - play sound for player"

open it with regular we, then save it, and delete all the advansed triggers?

i think u better open it with mpq and check if there's something else added to it ... and check your war3map.j and also sometimes when u put in w3u the first time its a high size but when u save and quit unlimted the map goes to normal size .. this happends when u usaly use a higher terrain ...
if u use the max.. it jumps to 9mb but when u save and close it goes to 3mb
its a normal bug... but if u still save and dont make it smaller than u should check if u added something to it.
GOod luck

hi

i open up my map in a proggy called mpqview. It had these files in it:
(attributes)
(listfile)
Units\UpgradeData.slk
war3map.doo, .imp, .j, .mmp, .shd, w3c, .w3e, .w3i, .w3r, w3s, w3u, wct, wpm, wtg, and .wts
war3mapMap.blp
war3mapPreview.tga
war3mapUnits.tga

I'm guessing Units\UpgradeData.slk is a weu add in i dont need, but when i extracted it it was 0bytes. Similarly, when i tried extracting war3map.j it was blank :nuts:


looking in the import manager, there is my minimap tga at 254k. Second largest is a mysterious empty32.mp3 at 93k, and then Upgradedata.slk, at 80k. Could i just delete these? or is there a cleaner way?

Next theres empty4-8.mp3, ranging from 11-23k each.

how much of these should i delete? Is there a propper way? Is it safe?

the terrain.slk u not be able.
but the rest you can delete:
-Minimap image (import manager)
empty32.mp3 (importmanager)
do not delete:
(atributes)
(listfile) - ( make a copy of this and dele this one) protect from mpq.
war3map.doo, .imp, .j, .mmp, .shd, w3c, .w3e, .w3i, .w3r, w3s, w3u, wct, wpm, wtg, and .wts
war3mapMap.blp
war3mapPreview.tga
war3mapUnits.tga
================
if u dele the listfile it make all items to (unknow) this is good any map unprotectors.

the reason it increases to such a size is because WEU comes with lots of custom abilities, upgrades, advanced triggers and a custom script. all of that stuff takes alot of space.

 

[salempc]

probably the thousands of variable it adds to your map?

 

[crazedcougar]

Yes, and i am barely using any new features at all! How can i remove, say, custom upgrades and abilites. Just go into the thingy and uncheck the boxes? I believe that increased the size drastically before...

 

[crazedcougar]

further research shows that just clicking the "save" button in the Enhancer increases my map size by 400kb. what gives??!!??!??

Uncheck the boxes, click save.
Open your map in WE, save it.

Then its back to normal.
