i thought id jus share but i was compresing my map which is 168kb's with tinymap and it turned it into 120kb's, after that i used unused protector2 which made it 136kb's then re-compressed it with tinymap which it became 105kb's which i found kinda cool , the only thing tho is that inverted locations were deleted and as far as i cud tell there was no further coruption including all the custom sounds i put in, has anyone else done something similar and faced massive corruption?

This isn't really a question...

In any case, that's somewhat interesting. Tinymap2 will be out whenever Farty finishes it (should be soon), which offers some serious compression/protection. You should test to see which process removed the inverted locations.

oh my bad i didnt know where else to put it ><
it seems the inverted locations were removed after i unprotected the protected map (tinymap) once.

That must be the fault of the unprotector then, assuming your map still worked after compressed.

As far as i can tell everything is working perfectly, and i have lots of triggers n such. So yeah the unprotector for some reason deletes inverted locations so what i did was jus re-make them b4 re-compressing and the mapped work'd jus fine, Original Size was 168kb's, compressed that into 120kb's, unprotected into 136kb's b4 i remade all the inverted locations, and that compressed to 105kb's, id be interested to see if other ppl have simliar results.

How odd, I wonder what Unused Unprotector took out that TinyMap left in the first time, since there's no way an extra 20 kb was just from inverted locations..

Anyways, TinyMap2 should beat that compression rate easily and leave your inverted locations. The changes in compression even help reduce the amount of space each trigger takes up, it should be very impressive.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
