Fatboy on a diet
im extracting the whole mod to steal units and clean out any files not needed. And there are many, believe me!
When the Mod is paked again (w EN Translation included) i can upload it somewhere and give it away.
note: -i will not create another account on any cloudstorage, you must care for it

Hi Mat while translating gzm units i saw some files here and there that seemed like they were only taking space, i don't recall all but some that i remember where:
Files named "копия(1)" basically "copy" on russian, files of .tga images or something that somebody forgot to delete at all. Files without any extension that were just sitting there. I hope not to be insulting the memory of Major Pain when saying this but his pdf can be found a lot of times on his models. I think that were some more but i don't remember correctly maybe some file with a weird extension or .jpg image. Duplicates of .dds maybe.

good to know, will clean out the "копия" files too
edit:man there are many copies without any sense!
another question: how many Gigabytes does the Folder "GZM9" have including v9.20 when installed normally? (i deleted the paks so i dont know and i will not install it again to know)

Not very sure mine currently is ~40GB but i think it was like ~38GB originally (only my saves take up to 2gb lol).
Also i have the translation of the all the units too (including the allies ones that aren't yet on the current english translation), if you want them i can send you the link.

LOL! Then the unpacked outcleaned Mod has less than the packed version! thats hard i didnt expect that! So when i put this in a pak again it will be many times lighter than the original version!
yes, send me the files, i dont need them because i dont use GZM but maybe someone wanna have this version!

I am sorry but saying " a lot of space was saved " does not cut it - what saving space are we actually talking about here ? and do you think GZM runs slower because of those files being there ? come on saving space is good and I appreciate the effort but we probably have more junk daily in temp folder than this

not hostile at all I promise I tried hundreds of things to optimize BK believe me and above wont make ANY difference performance wise. I admit I should not made comment on someones effort to save some space no matter how insignificant ..my bad

no offence but you saved absolutely nothing unless you PC is 80's calculator if you would read what i´ve written you would understand - Squire James understood immediately
but i explain it again:
i just extracted the mod to get Units! ..but i heard in 9.20 it takes a lot of time to load and save both in mapeditor and game so im curious why this does happen - i think maybe because of the many files the game engine has to read. So i cleaned out all things not needed
Just to see if this is the Reason

i´m testing now @ Grot aka shlytzrik : i´m just doing this because i wanna understand whats slowing down loading and saving maps...... Squire James : and i´m sharing it because i know other modders are interested in the outcome too i will test the loading times of
-maps in mapeditor -saving maps in mapeditor -loading a mission to playi except nothing (i always except nothing, that´s what teached me life) but let´s see!
