Game size super huge

(1/3) > >>

Zurai:
Hey guys,

I got a problem with my project. I had an issue with a ressource pack for GameMaker 8.1 which is not longer supported by the creator. He switched to Gamemaker Studio and released his ressource pack there. Because of this, I imported my Project to Gamemaker studio. During the Import, Studio changed a lot of files. Afterwards I realized that it's not worth it to switch to studio because there were so many virtual machine errors, so I switched back to 8.1.

But suddenly my game is 73 MB big, instead of 30-35. Is there a possibility to get back to the "original" size of the game?

Thanks in advance!

which resource pack is this?

Zurai:
EasyLighting 7.0.2

But I didnt change anything at the game after I imported it into studio. So it has do to something with the import

Olivebates:
Did you just revert to your old .gmk file, when you realized GM Studio wasn't worth it? Or did you port it to GMStudio, and then port the GM Studio project back to Game Maker 8.1?

In the case of the latter, Game Maker Studio just generally uses more space for resources, such as images or sound, since it has to be able to go cross-platform. By taking a Game Maker Studio file, and reverting it to Game Maker 8.1, you inadvertently port the larger files, resulting in a larger file size. If this is the case, the only ways you can get it back to it's original state, is if you have a backup (.gb1 / .gmk), or if you re-import all your resources from their original sources.
