Maximum File Read size for MP servers?
Hi I was just wondering how big the MP servers will allow file sizes to be. I am trying to figure out how much I need to trim down stuff in my MP scenarios in order to be able to save and load them on MP servers. currently the avg file size im getting when I save an uncompressed save is 80ish MB.
On a side note, what are some tips to cut it even smaller? I know that clearing Variables from store_units and other variables is important but what else would help?

Instead of aiming to get as close to the limit as possible without passing it, better to just focus on reducing size.
I would comment part of functionality, and then check how many lines it took away.

I just want a temp fix at this moment until I can get a more permanent fix so I can continue a game with 3 of my brothers from last night. was a very competitive game that they all want to continue but since leaving your game idle on the server DC's you we now have to find a way to get it back up.

Re: Maximum File Read size for MP servers?
making a an add-on close to the limit will mean that people can no longer load saves from your addon as the size of saves is often bigger than the size of the multiplayer/era tags, furthermore the size of saves usually increases as the game goes on due to more units recruited and more replay data. So when your add-on is already close to the limit it means that people wont be able to reload those later saves anymore, Also people will have problems when they try to play your add-on tigetherwith other eras/scenarios/(modifications as their total size will then be too big.
Scenario with Robots SP scenario (1.11/1.12), allows you to build your units with components, PYR No preperation turn 1.12 mp-mod that allows you to select your units immideately after the game begins.
