Optimizing map size with no imports?

[Apheraz Lucent]

Any ways of doing it? I searched everywhere, and I couldn't find out what it takes to decrease it. My map is about 350 kb big, and someone told me (Can't remember who, sorry) that the map size can be drastically reduced by converting Gui to Jass. Saving up size is the thing I need the most, as I host it alone on Garena.

Converting GUI to JASS will not reduce map size. Or maybe a few kb but not much.

Like I said in your other thread
Save 2 copies of your map. Optimize the one and keep the other.

Here's an optimizer from Vexorian http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=79326

It works by deleting unnecessary scripts left on your map. But be sure to have a backup since it locks your map which cannot be opened through the World Editor but can still be played. It can reduce the map file size for up to 35% according to my tests. I am using it for months and its quite good.

Converting GUI to JASS can dramatically reduce the trigger script size (so its smaller than GUI even after optimizing) however triggers are usuallly small (unless your map is like SWAT AM or TKoK where there is 1 MB of triggering but thats jass already).

Optimizer helps compact GUI more than JASS though cause it will delete the GUI data (leaving only the script). Most of the size of GUI triggering is the GUI data for use in the editor only. Ofcourse, by switching to JASS you mean the script is more efficent so even though the gain is less than with GUI, the end result will be the same functionality for less lines of code.
