Scratch

I would love to have larger project size, since it would allow me to release a game that I worked very hard on, and am unable to release. Another problem is lag. Whenever scripts are too big, or there are too many sprites, it lags horribly. Is there any way to fix this other than simplifying your scripts?

HI, I am making the most awesome project... COOL, I HAVE FINISHED IT, THIS WILL TOTALLY ROCK EVERYONES MIND OUT!... why is it taking so long to upload... TO BIG! arghh that sucks. please raise the size limit!
unable to upload, file might be too big, I am sick of the size limit.

I made a hotmail site where people upload there big files there    http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/deatheater/187257 here's the details

I think the size limit should stay at 10 megs, it still takes a lnog time to load at 8-10 megs, but imangine 20 or even 30?  If you have a project too big? Compress everything.

Ya keep it 10 megs. A good way to keep sound size down is to match each sound with it's type that is smallest, Sound FX to .wav, music to .MP3, etc.

I just have a tip!; You could do something else fun on your computer while it's uploading to the internet! But it might slow down your computer.

generally, large projects are because of music. If your only going to use 10 seconds of a 2 minute music track, then cut it down in something like audicity. If its that big without large music files, then u must have a REALLY bad scripting habit. Im amazed the limit is 10 meg, id atually thought it was smaller, as so many projects that havent really had much effort put into it gets uploaded, and can crash the server.
Point im trying to make, just about no scratch project should exceed 10 meg, and if it does theres something wrong. If you want good music at small size the newgrounds audio portal has a lot of it, and its free for use.

(many people might not know this, but uploading a copyrighted song is against the law)

My game has stop motion sequences which eat up a lot of space. I probably won't reach 10meg but I thought I'd mention it.

If you add music then maybe yes it will pass the limit.

I am having the same problem...my project is only 55KB above the limit and I've already compressed the images/sounds and removed some things not necessary to the project.  I am stuck having either to remove vital parts of the project or not upload.  PLEASE RAISE THE SIZE LIMIT!

The 10 megabyte limit is due to Java's capabilities - I don't think they would be able to make it any bigger. But in Scratch 2.0, with Flash they'll probably raise the limit. 

If it's just 55 kilobytes, you'll probably be able to trim a tiny bit of stuff and keep the majority of the project. Or you could remove some sounds or music that aren't very necessary.

Had the same thing happen with me

maybe we could raise it to 25 megs.
