Problem uploading to steam?

Post by HaunterV »

ok so, seems I can't upload to steam... I exported my dungeon and it seems to be over 200 mb... how is that possible for a single floor dungeon?

A little assistance? I'm currently in the middle of trying to get it up on Nexus so maybe someone can help me then.

The dungeons themselves are only a few kB. What blows up the file is when you have many (and big) custom assets, intro pictures, sound, music etc.
When destiny calls, the chosen have no choice.

1) Are your texture files compressed? Use DXT1 for textures without alpha (transparency channel), DXT5 for textures with alpha.

2) Cleanup any unused dds, wav, ogg, etc. files from your mod_assets folder.

3) Downscale textures. E.g. most environment textures in Grimrock are 1024x1024 pixels.
