Well I've been working on my map constantly the last few days, and got curious of how big my map is. So I had a look and it's somehow around 6MB, I mean surely I've done something wrong.

My map is absolutely huge compared to the size of other maps, and mine isn't even finished yet!

How much space to triggers take up? I've got like 60 at the moment.
I havn't imported any music
I've only imported 1 icon at the moment (planning on loads more if possible)
Only 21 custom upgrades
3 Abilities
And 20 custom units are in use as well
Their are no special effects
Pretty much no doodads except 6/7 pathing blockers (large)

I'm stumped D:

I don't see what is causing it

Thanks Illidans911 problem fixed and file size reduced by 6MB! XD

For those wondering how, I was wrong...There was a music file still getting imported which I thought I removed, but turns out I deleted the variable for the music file not the actual file >.>

would you tell me how you managed to reduce the size of the music file? I've got to import 7 songs into my map, but the size would be 15 mb. that's far too much. would be kind thank you :)
