Large File Size

Post by vizyeay »

I am having a problem in a tiny wad I am making for friends and other people, but I have one problem, The file size is 14 MB!!! I don't know why, I imported my own custom music (midi not mp3 if you're wondering) and the file size is 14 MB, can I receive any help? (also the only map is extremely small) Thanks.

Sounds like you need to show us the WAD file.

SLADE should show the size of each entry, can you try looking through with that?

And if it's not a wad but a pk*, do check EVERY folder inside the archive - I accidentally leave things in subfolders all the time.

Well, I can tell you what the problem is: your file is literally the Doom 2 IWAD with your modifications tacked on to the end. How exactly did you save the file?
