Hi

Ive just compressed a course of mine with the intention of sending it to WRS but the compressed size of the course is over 135 MB despite the original .tcr file being only 17 MB - have I done something wrong?

In fairness its a fairly modest design and I cant figure out why the filesize is so big : none of the libraries are included in the compressed file as theyve all been previously released.

Any help appreciated!
thanks
Dan

It really sounds like when you compiled the course you also compiled the libraries that you used with course, including stock libraries. That is the only way a course would be that large. Check out this tutorial written by Tru and see if it helps:

Im definately not compressing the libraries as Im unchecking all the boxes and getting the libraries warning dialogue box up - has anyone else had this problem?

The .tcr file is still 17Meg get the compressed file is over 135! Perhaps my compressor has gone wonky ...?

What other files are you including in the compressed archive (flag, splash screen, etc)?
