Im using Ladiks MPQ editor
When i extract some files from my map and delete them, map size decreases by 20-ish KB, but when i later add them back in, it increases the map by 1000KB
How can i solve this?

Compact the archive after adding the files. This might not work or be possible for archives that are "protected".

Due to differences in compression settings and libraries used between MPQEdit and WorldEditor the resulting compressed sizes of the same file might be different between the two applications.

It was such a simple fix :D Literally 1 click but i just didnt know about it
This is a map i got from the net and wanted to edit. Compacting reduced the original map size by about 50% even with all the added files. I wonder why it wasnt compacted in the first place? Thanks a lot super good
