I have decided, that the International Map Backuping Day is on February 1st. On that day, every mapper should make backups of their projects. The day would also be a little celebration for mappers.

Adopt the habit, and spread the news!

Mappers, or atleast I, make multiple version of the same map on habit, meaning there is one version of fossilroo that is just plain crazzy :o (very old)

My maps, compiled, are around 30000 kb, and the older version and less optimized version was around 44k kb. which is waaaay too big. I managed to cut it down to 18k kb. But it isnt a waste of space because if you **** up on your map and you dont know where but you have backups, then you can just open the one that was saved a while back and edit it again.

Im up to 40 saves of my current map. :lol: I guess i'll delete em all once im happy with the final version. I save it after i make any significant changes. I learnt the hard way after a map i was workin on died on me & i only had a really early version to fall back on. Hammer is out to get me! :unsure:

~~~~, last time i checked my map after it was compiled was only a couple of mbs. 2.36 to be exact. What could cause yours to be so huge? Biggest map ive got thats mp is maybe 11mb(cs_bedbugs or something). Even lockdown, a huge HL2:MP level is less than 5mb in vmf format.
