What are the various programs that can compress maps to a smaller filesize?

I read recently that there's no point trying to protect your maps too much (apart from against the rookie b.net public), so which gives the best compression rate :)?



None.

Cheers for the fast response.

Do you happen to have download links for them as well? Google is giving me ancient links :(

EDIT: oh hello there -_-

I started a map compressor, but it does a wierd thing where BroodWar claims it is for an expansion set. >.> The maps I tested compressed to about 21% thier original size (which probably means I left out something important, maybe :P.)

Ya i read you were developing "tinymap"? haha which would be the answer to my problem I'm sure.

My filesize is creeping up there (nothing substantial), but I'm yet to duplicate the triggers for other players. So I'm hoping compression can take a dent out of the filesize. About to do some testing once I find the programs :)

lol, yeah.
I just fixed the maps being unplayable. I forgot to write ONE section (+20 bytes to chk, including headers). :P
Still has a few issues, though.
LOL. Even though it is valid in SC, it nukes Heimdal's map preview.

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 -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

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.
