Large blp/mdx performances

[Tomotz]

Hi, I'm working on a map and it has one unit that uses a blp that is 1.1MB and a mdx that is 1.8M.
The whole map file is only 11MB, so that's a pretty large chunk.
Does this reduce my map performances?
Is there a way to reduce blp/mdx file sizes? I tried searching the forum but only found very old programs that didn't work.
I managed to run War3ModelEditor, but didn't find that option there.

If it have a significant performance impact, I might remove it altogether as it isn't very important for the game.
Thanks!

Hello, can you join the blp and the mdx file so I can take a look at it?

Attacked, thanks! How do I give +rep?

Maybe try this. There was a lot of unecessary stuff in the model and I reduced the texture to 512x512 pixels.

Nice! looks exactly the same, and takes more than a mega off the packed map. tysm +rep

My pleasure to help. Make sure to rename the texture if you import it.
