Clean compiling helps a little with the size of the resource file(.rsc).
|
It basically boils down to lowering the RSC's size and improving your internet connection/upload speed.
Your options include: -Use less resources. -Clean compiling removes unused resources from the RSC file. -Use smaller formats for them. eg PNG instead of BMP, OGG instead of WAV... -Host some resources on an external server. -Host the whole RSC file on a decent external/separate server, using preload_rsc to make the players download it from there. -Zipping the RSC manually with a program that supports slightly better compression rates might work (BYOND might not be able to unzip it). | |
