My zones lvz is way to big (abput 3.5-4mb) and in continuuim it takes 4ever to download. i have seen people host thei lvz on a website to d/l from there and put the lvz in continuuim folder in their zone but it does not work for me why?

Continuum may have an internal limit. I know that the transfering of files limit is 2meg, but the lvz limit itself may also be the same.

I seriously recommend you remove some of the files. Over 2 meg of images/sounds is too much. You don't need a 5 minute long victory music, or what ever is causing such a huge increase in size.

I have a replacement of every file continuum uses. It's stored at my server and it's "only" 1 093 282 bytes huge.

But one strange thing is that I have an empty *.lvl file and it's 49 718 bytes. Seems to be only the tileset which does that much.
Now I understand why the map is transferred compressed.

My map contains many many 00 and FF bytes so it can be highly compressed.

Also remember, modem users won't stick around if it takes to long to download... Keep it to a meg or so.

Use several small lvz and make some of the less important ones optional.
