I know makslane wants us to upload our games directly to this site, but I'm afraid that my latest project MIGHT exceed the upload limit. what should I do if that becomes the case?

Optimize your ressources!

- music should be a module file (like midi) or if not, compressed at the very least.
- PNG or GIF graphics
- etc

the pictures are .png already.
the music is .ogg

and yet the game is still getting big.

ogg still sucks for file size... Its more than likely your music more than anything else. If you can, convert to module files! How much music do you have anyway?

only a couple are in the game right now. at least I'm not using .wav

the upload limit on this forum is 10 MB, right?

my problem is that my game is already 5MB and I've barely got the first level built. I have two more after it to build too!

I think the limit was increased (or removed) sometime ago, not sure though, ask around!

I'm afraid any sound file more compressed than .ogg will severely reduce sound quality.

Good, long music has its price.
There's not much you can do about it.
Don't forget though, that zipping or raring your game will also decrease the size.

Use ogg only for sound effect,and midi for the music.
Well,unless you make a very very big project

Also,try to dont separate your level,use mapping system to load different level.

Still exceed the limit?upload it at another site,then ask makslane to move it here

I thought it was not possible to use .ogg files as sound effects (at least I never could open them with the PlaySound() function).

Really?
Umm,what if change the extension of ogg to wav?

Yea, of course, that would work.
Generally you use .wav for sound effects, .mid, .it , .ogg etc. for music.

I have sent you an email,got it?
