It's finally here!

Keeping to tradition, this is an incomplete mess! Fortunately, it is still amazing!

And now...

NEW FEATURES that TinyMap1 lacked:

• No more VB6, written in pure C! That is already a huge plus, right?
  
• Can open maps with certain protections! (Note: I am not directly supporting the ability to open protected maps, this is just a byproduct of trying to make a more stable program.)
  
• 'Compatability' options ... If I feel like making it more in-depth I could make it so you can create StarCraft maps from Brood War maps ... but I'm lazy and that seems unnecessary (since you probably don't want to mess with your map when you go to compress it.)
  
• File Manager! Instead of just dumping the map contents into a folder, poking the CHK a few times, and then shoving it all back in... TinyMap2 let's you decide which unused wav files to remove, which will have high compression, and what background music shouldn't have crappy quality! (... except I honestly don't think it quite works like that. xD)
  
• Does not cache files on your harddrive!
  
• Basic WAV Compression! Makes your file 16-bit mono and strips unused data. Maybe next I can make it remove unused 00s from the end of the data segment. >.> <.<
  
• File-by-file compression comparison! When you save your map, you can see exactly which files are causing your seemingly small map to be 700 KB. It shows you first the type of file, the original map file's compressed size, followed by the new compressed size!
  
• A background color that wont make your retinas go on strike!
  

SCREENSHOTS



Now try it out and post the thousands of bugs you encounter your compression ratios!
It shaves 2MB off of RUSH... And I'm too lazy to compare more than that.

YES! FIRST REPLY! FINALLY! ITS HERE! EGGSONGS FOR ALL!

OMG YAY FINALLY!

Too bad it was after SC2 beta.. ;C

I didn't really do much to it in the past week ... If I could work diligently on something for more than 2 hours at a time I could've finished this last year.

I had a 47kb map.

It is now 5kb

What black magic is this?

I vote we burn Farty, he is obviously a witch.

Initial: 434204
After: 266021
Ratio: 61.27%

AMAZING!

Good job dude (this was my RPG).

Oh yeah: It is awesome that you coded it in C. YAY

I used TinyMap2 on my avatar and made it smaller! But yeah, finally a compressor that works! Maybe I'll have a reason to jam more music in my RPG and finish it...

Oh yes, I know, I remember testing with farty a couple of his maps and he was like "DID U C THE DOWNLOAD" and I was like "what download? >.>"


Anyway, this wouldn't be a farty tool without Corbo's Skins ;o
Customize your TinyMap 2!


Add at the bottom of your TinyMap2.ini file:

More later!

FINALLY! THANK THE LORD!!!

nice work farty!

edit: omg.. the lay out is so sexy. Especially the way the window slides out.

holy shit farty this is amazing, it cut my map in half 311kb down to 167kb.

D.O.T.X. (link slightly outdated): 148.860 Bytes : 306.721 Bytes = 48.53% (broke the map, at least slightly. From what I can tell a formerly inactive trigger for testing purposes has been reactivated. If you need more details I can investigate it further.)



Desert Strike (link slightly outdated): 94.809 Bytes : 142.372 Bytes = 66.59% (yet to be tested)



Sand Castle Wars: 69.837 Bytes : 119.414 Bytes = 58.48% (same error as in DotX.)

It seems you just delete the never conditions for some reason...



Dragon Craft: 233.514 Bytes : 295.312 Bytes = 79.07% (seems to work)

I left it and standard settings which appear to be medium.


I also think since the goal of the program is to achieve highest compression possible you should set the default wav compression to high.



Nexus PvZ: 33.215 Bytes : 74.499 = 44.58% (seems to work)

Holy Crap, Awesome

... Temple Siege v1.6 beta

Type Init Size New Size Comp Ratio Filename
Mapfile 310472 196578 63.32% MPQ

Ridiculous!! almost half...

Tho i've broken it several times D:
It's unable to compress Ahli's Diablo (16000000 bytes lmao)

O.o It's supposed to delete the whole never trigger block, not just the condition itself.

(This is why you can go through the files individually ...) Because WAVs compress weird. Also the "increase" your seeing is not necessarily a wav whose filesize is larger than that of the uncompressed wav, it means whatever added the wav to the original archive did a better job. Some wavs compress better without the "Compress WAV File" option, too. Usually if it is just a few wavs you don't really need to worry because the overall wav compression will outweigh it (using what you posted as an example, the 'High Compression' average ratio'd be around 81.50% (average'd ratios) and the true compression ratio for all 5 wavs'd be 72.07% (averaged new compressed size divided by averaged original compress size.)

Apparently high wav compression is a lower quality ... (Though, honestly, I've never noticed a difference.) You can change the default compression to high.

I'll have to look over the trigger/never deletions tomorrow. ;o


Maps without wavs (or with very few small wavs) get the best compression ... Like what Ex was talking about. xD


xD Even though TinyMap1 did this. ... I just totally ripped the layout off of my old one.

Luls, I killed the program with 16000000 bytes

What map and what happened?

Leaving it uncompressed is obviously not an option here...

So there's no way to leave it like it was before?

Ah k. I'd still make the default high, because I too have never noticed a loss in quality.

Post has been edited 1 time(s), last time on Feb 24 2010, 7:37 am by NudeRaider. Reason: grammar

I meant uncheck the "Compress WAV File" box, not change the MPQ Compression. xD The checkbox changes the wav format slightly.

Part of the compression (which any good compressor should have) is recreating the archive ... It gets rid of unused file headers and extraneous data (and by itself can save a lot of filesize)... Unless I know the exact way the file was added, there is no real way to leave it as it was before.

OMGOSH

IT'S TINYMAP2!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!

Honestly, I clicked into UMS Assistance, and as the page started to load, I looked down and saw TinyMap2 in UMS Theory and Ideas and immediately hit the back button So far it's worked nicely for me, obviously on the crazier maps there's an issue here or there, but nothing Farty won't fix in the hype of its output, no?

Also, Farty, you failed to mention that it has epic protection as well Basically, to anyone using this, just compress your WAVs manually, don't rely on this to do it, and you'll save a lot of space!

Also, just added to the DLDB, since Farty can't seem to upload his own programs , I'll be sure to update it when you do.

This still doesn't yield the expected result...

Your wav sucks then. ;o There isn't much I can do. I've already explained that one wav being slightly less compressed than the original isn't anything to worry about anyway.

It's because you have 'Always' and then 'Never' ... I just assumed there'd never be more than just a 'Never' trigger in a block. ;o That is a huge error on my part. (Honestly, even I just throw on a 'Never' condition to a bunch of conditions to disable a trigger ...)
