Levellord: if you want to send mods by email, for example, you're better off zipping them up with Winzip (or other zip utility) -- not only will it compress the levels better, but it'll group all the files together, which makes them easier to handle.

Oh I do; I use a modified version of PKZIP (from PK sofware, the inventors of the .ZIP file)

But my mail account still sucks. (I'm going to try zipsplit, which will zip a file and create several self reforming pieces.)

Seriously though, where can I get RLE?

I think KMO compressed the levels, so try that.

However KMO is almost hopeless to save with.

Maybe some temporary Geocities account where you can upload files easily could help?

Goo-o-ood idea Grelphy!
-Keenrush

Excuse me? What good idea?

Anyway, the actual number of levels in a mod really isn't an issue - just make all the optional levels obviously optional, and people who like to finish fast can, and people who like to clean out the mod can... The real problems come when it takes too long just to make the levels. Other than that, it's easy to avoid too-many-level problems.

I got my old Keen-o-Matic out today and found and uploaded an rle compressor I made ages ago.

Get it Here!

Just remember to backup your files before using it...

Oh, sorry Grelphy, I meant to say Yowza. :D

That compressor is probably well made but I have no use for it at all. :(

<Yes; to suck works.

Please post in English, so that all members can read your post. Or at the least, provide a translation.
