O.K. this will teach you how to decrease your map file size but requires sacrificing some unimportant things.

1. Decompile your map with H2Core

2. Open your C: Drive>Tags>H2>sound

3.Delete folders with sounds in them you don't want

A:Ambiance contains background music and sometimes machine sounds

B:Characters contains sounds your player makes (elite or sparten or other bipeds) So deleting that is probably not a good idea

C:Dialog is something I wouldn't delete it(didn't test)

D:dsp_effects contains nothing of real use

E:game_sfx contains things like your countdown and gametype sounds like dropping flag and picking it up.

F:Materials contains things like glass breaking, fire burning and water sounds.

G:UI contains your shield sounds. Don't delete it.

H:Vehicles contain vehicle sounds. Don't deleting those unless your desperate for a lower map size.

I:visual_effects contain nothing important. Just take a look inside of it and make sure they are all sounds you don't want.

J:weapons contains weapon sounds. Keep em'

4. Rebuild your map and you have a lower map size now

(Olny delete weapon sounds, vehicles sounds or UI sounds if you desperatly want a lower map size)

P.S. Deleting sounds give you lots of space because they are big files

P.S.S. Report any porblems in this thread if any occur

Hope this tutorial helps somebody!

Yeah, I thought of this idea yesterday when my map was 84 meg. I know it would be small enough now, I just cannot get the program to rebuild on my computer.

I'd just like to add that you sound look for any combat dialogue and get rid of it. It is purely for SP and will clear a bit of space.

I still wonder how Anthony got this map to be 41.6 when I'm at 84 possibly going down to 67?

this isnt really a tutorial but common since. still it might help somoone

This isn't really needed. Since H2 Core sets the max size to a SP map.

WHERE DO GET THIS MAP SBSP EDITOR THING???????? WHAT IS THE URL OF THE ZIP FILE
