Best way to upload maps to the resources section.

[wizard-chan]

Looking to upload some maps (approx 2kx2k -> 4kx4k) in size.
What's the best way of doing this, considering the file constraints.

I'm not talking about images. I'm talking about posting map files to resources. Not uploading images -_-

You can upload it to media fire or a similar site and provide a txt file with the download link.

Nevermind, compressing is your best bet then.

That's against the MCM rules. Can't link to external sites as they can't properly moderate them.[DOUBLEPOST=1595946917][/DOUBLEPOST]Harry Zeiyon you've dealt with this before, any insights?

Correct, that would be against our rules so I would advise against that, obviously.

Premium can upload up to 87MB, Supreme up to 200MB if you want to purchase the upgrade. We don't allow files larger than 200MB, and there's no way around that, unfortunately. Using RAR archives and adjusting compression settings should allow you to fit a decently sized world in. I've just tested and using WinRAR's "best" compression method, I was able to get a ~1GB world folder down to ~90MB. So, making the wishful assumption that this scales perfectly, you could fit ~2.2GB world within the Supreme size limitations.

Anything larger and you'll need to make the compromise of selling via a standard marketplace thread.
