I was wondering if there's a way of telling (when I'm building a mission) how big my map is going to be.. Previously I've had the problem that my map was to big when I finnished it. So now I'm adding stuf bit by bit, and then check if it stil loads propperly. Can I look at the size (Kbytes)?? or is the above mentioned way the only way of checking. What is the max size of a map?? Thanx guys for all the help you gave me so far..  | ||
