reducing model or texture size teach

[kruzerg]

teach me how to reducing model or texture size greatly
with mdx squisher only reducing a bit
but i seen in chaosrealm they can reducing the model size more than 300 kb

In ChaosRealm, the models they use has A LOT OF unimportant Things but the model you have probably hasn't.

Anyways, you can remove the parts you don't need, animations, Animation Keyframes, Some Geosets (am I right on this one? LoL XD)

I remember andreariona had a tutorial on her (maybe?) webpage.

where is that? xD

Compress your files in your map to reduce the map size. Compression is a method used to usually decrease
the quality and file size of a file. Your map can be compressed and the files (imports) inside your map can
also be compressed.

• A map optomizer will compress your map for you. https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/default-wc3mapoptimizer-5-0-a-251543/

• LameXp can compress sound files for you. http://lamexp.sourceforge.net/

• BLP LAB can compress the textures/skins for you. https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/blp-lab-v0-5-0-a-137599/

There is not much you can do to compress model files.

i have tried blp lab v 0.5 week ago
i compress 9 blp files
but my map size only decreases 10 kb
why is that?

You probably "optimized" your BLP's. I suggest you manually set a compression percentage and resave the BLPs to further lower the size.

 

[Radicool]

Open your BLP file:

Opened File

You can see what compression setting has been applied to the BLP file (I've circled it). If you further compress the file, the filesize will lower. You will need to save a copy of this file.

Select File - Save As

Save New Texture

Here you save a new file.
1.) Set the name.
2.) Set the file type to BLP1
3.) Enter your compression value. Lower means lower file size but also poorer quality. You can put this as low as 25%-30% for most units. For any large units or doodads, maybe use 40% or so.
4.) Enjoy

ohh so just open any blp then save file as
then enter quality then click ok
finished?
that time im not save file as, but blp batch on the tools tab

btw is there any great tools to compress size any other than mdx squisher
i feel mdx squisher only decreases very small kb

Yes.

Note: Careful not to lose the original file. Once something is compressed, the quality is lost forever. You cannot decompress textures.

that time im not save file as, but blp batch on the tools tab

You can use the Batch processor (not BLP batch Optimizer) to quickly save copies of a group of files. Click "File Format Options" to enter you compression setting. This saves time, but I don't normally batch process. I like to manually set the compression ratio for each individual file to make sure everything is as small as it can be and nothing important is over compressed.

Up to you.

 

[kruzerg]

okay thank you, i will try later
btw what about best mdx reducing size?

[kruzerg]

can you teach me the 1st step?
polycon reduction and keyframes reduction?

Magos? animation reduction i understand, what about keyframes i dont know which keyframes should be deleted, too many
