Like the title suggests, this is a tutorial on how to create executable installers for your maps. This will allow you to compress files like never before...I managed to compress a 250-something map folder to a 123mb installer! This software has been on my computer for months, and I guarantee that it is free of malacious software.

Make sure that you replace the ABC in the path with your map's three-letter code.

Hope this clears things up, and helps you compress maps really well...
Have fun!

What compression does it use now? Last I checked it was just plain zip, but on a higher setting than windows'.

Hmm... Interesting.
I will look at.

Off-Topic: this should probably not be in this forum, it being for SWBF2 modding...
maybe a kind admin would move it?

How did you get a 250MB compiled map?

New sides; they are enormous...
One of my maps got 250mb with the installer; over 500mb as just a folder...Uploading to Filefront was a nightmare...

Bac-Talan: I, at least, think this is related to modding, as it will help save people time uploading, and reduce our download times...

Maybe you might be right, though...

It's the admins' decision...
