OK, here's the thing i've noticed .. each time i add an object my track file size gets bigger .. now that sounds normal to me but what has me wondering is why it happens too when i add the same object over and over again .. why doesn't it just load the model once and duplicate it ? Or is there a way to do that cause i must say the file size of my track is getting ridiculous lol .. Sure it's high res but even then, 33.6MB a little much no ? And i'm still not finished with the objects i wanna place  :-\

If you are using custom objects then each time you add an item it must be a new unique instance, this is due to the way the game works.

Alos, once you zip it, the size won't be that big.  I think that is about a normal size.

Yeah, it's about 8mb when rarred/zipped .. So the 33.6MB so far is normal nowadays ? lol i've been away too long i swear .. last thing i remember tracks were about 5-7 mb unzipped lol

It's because custom objects are all text files, so they compress real well.

33 MB does seem large, but your SLT's must be really big, or you have a large number of objects.

i think your better place another sort of object like the object you add, but not same color and etc.
because me i got YZ? and i said to the twisteddirt forum that if someone can help me, and they just talking about to edit messages and etc... that's make me sick, your lucky, but not me.

If you can add different forms of the same object, like you say with different colors, it's even better if you do so with the same texture map, otherwise the file size gets even bigger with the extra texture maps.

I don't think you are getting any answers on your YZ editor questions because not many people that come here ever used it. I've tried it... but can offer no advise.

If the reason you're flooding the forums with pointless posts is because no one has helped you with the YZ editor, then i can tell you that it's nothing personal it's just like Fixer says - no one knows the answer to your question.


Please stop making pointless posts, it just makes people want to help you less because they won't take your questions seriously. :)
