Map Size

[AGNO12]

Hey, real quick question:

Why does the map size given by the import manager differ so much from the map size given in the file properties. For instance, under the import manager, my map is 11.4 mb, but under file properties it is 7.9 mb. I want to be able to play my map on bnet, so which number is more accurate? Also, I have not used any optimizer or mdx squisher yet.

thanks

The file size Windows gives you may not be over 8 MB, don't mind the one in the import manager. It seems that the world editor automatically compresses the files slightly when saving the map.

Files imported in the import manager that are blp files may be compressed.
Some can be automatically be compressed to 1/5 of the size. Not sure about the world editor compressing other kind of files though.
