[Solved] Map Size Too Big?

[All_Time_Pro]

Hi all I have a map I'm currently in development of. My question is after importing some music to it the file size has gone from 4,350 kb to 48,000 kb and then it increased to 163,000 kb after I imported some more sounds (that are all WAV). The tracks are like 2 minutes long and my question is... Is the sudden increase of file size going to make the game unplayable, and if so, how might I trim the size back down? If there is no way then I might just cut the music stuff completely.

Thank you!

The problem with wav is that it's heavy, much more than mp3 for instance. One trick is to import sounds as mp3s and rename them to .wav (or .flac if using reforged) and the game thinks they're legit, but you save a lot of space that way

okay thank you chaosium, what do you think is too big for a map size also in your opinion, is 40,000kb-160,000kb acceptable or way too massive?

Is it singleplayer and part of a campaign or played by multiple people on Bnet? I never paid much attention to map sizes so I couldn't tell to be honest^^ But obviously if it's multiplayer then you'll need to be careful about big file sizes

it is 3 player rpg, so yea i think i might be okay i just havent gone through and gotten rid of leaks yet, so maybe if i do that then it will be more smooth

Okay i used mp3 files and the file size has reduced from 160,000kb to 25000kb. Thank you Chaosium.
