Help-Project too big?
Okay-I made a project. The project was 13mb. I could upload, all right. Then, I edited it so it had 5mb. I could upload. I added some things and it says it's 48mb long! How come?

Re: Help-Project too big?
Ummm . . . Did you add a lot of music? Or did you add a lot of images? It could be a glitch, but most likely somehow you added a lot to the file size . . . Could you be more specific about what you added?

Re: Help-Project too big?
I added lots of images--I only have 4 music in the game and I compressed them.
I have 43 sprites- however, I could upload when there was only 40 images.

Re: Help-Project too big?
Wait a minute . . . when you try to upload it, does it actually say the file size is too large? If you recieve an error message, please post it.

Re: Help-Project too big?
Images could take up a lot of space; you could try compressing them.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: Help-Project too big?
It gives the error, but here's my question: what's the perfect compressing number for images?
EDIT: As it seems, it isn't compressing when I upload (the checkbox is on). Any way to fix?

Re: Help-Project too big?
I'm not sure. I have never been able to succesfully compress images, which is weird. I'll be interested to hear other users replies about it.

Re: Help-Project too big?
I thought you were to compress in the project, where there's an option to compress all images.

I've tried it, but it doesn't usually work for me. I usually do it before I upload the project though. I will wait for 30 minutes and all it will say is "number of images compressed: 0".

Re: Help-Project too big?
Try:
taking the images that increased your file size to 48MB and saving them in a different image format.
taking the images that increased your file size to 48MB and uploading them in a separate project.

Re: Help-Project too big?
Now it's 13mb but it still won't upload. If I take somethings out, it could be smaller. OK, I will

Re: Help-Project too big?
I think 10 MB is the limit for a Scratch project.
