Map.rwm question

[Red Spot]

call it poor english on my side ..;)

anyway to try and explain by example;

I'm currently making a big map, when I make it generate a new map.rwm file it often picks the side of being in the 3mb size
but there are times it ends up being in the 12 to 13mb size

when I use the exact same map, without editing a single file in between, to generate an other map.rwm file it might end up being of the size it wasnt before (if it was 3mb it could become 12/13mb and vice versa)

it seems that the map more often generates a map.rwm file in the 3mb size, but generating a new one using the same map can just as well be 12/13mb

in their use there is no difference, a 3mb or 12/13mb size map.rwm file seem to both work just as well


When I first noticed a map of 13mb and a bit I though I recalled the vanilla map generated a 3.5mb and a bit map.rwm file, so I checked up on that and it did generate a 3mb-ish size map.rwm, didnt pay much attention to it as I figured my map is 4 times as big and the map.rwm my map generated was 4 times as big as well
but at a later stage I noticed that my map had again generated a 3mb-ish size map.rwm

So I did a bit more testing to find out what I tried to explain above, somehow the map.rwm can pick 1 of 2 scales, 1 in the 3mb-ish size or it goes to the 12-13mb-ish size

I'll try and upload a pic. of my bin .. shows that there are at least 2 ranges ..

I've never known a map.rwm to generate at a different size with the same files, maybe a little less if something is wrong with the files but only by a few kb.

the next bit will do my believeability(?) much good ... :P

seems I've got influenced results Dol Guldur, I've had some issues with my map and since I've been able to iron out those issues my map only generates a 12mb-ish map.rwm wich always seems to be the same size it was before if he map isnt tempered with in between

what I said about a map able to generate a map.rwm file in 2 ranges still stands, as I'm 100% sure my findings are correct, though I have to change my statement about them a bit to say it is something that will tell you your map has issues ....


I apologize for ..er .. my littering ...
