    Okay, me and x_funtaztic_x have been modifying my Clean Temple, to make Enhanced Temple! And after we finished moving everything that we wanted to and adding our own little texture, I saved the file and it comes out to be 1,438 KB and we checked the original file size and it's 945.97 KB!!!! So, I went ahead and tested the stage out in-game, and of course it froze, but not with the exaggerated beeping noise of DEATH, it just froze and wouldn't load.  Of course we had to assume that it was the file size! So, if anyone knows how to shrink the file size, it would be greatly appreciated! And just to be sure we compressed it using BrawlBox, the compression type was the LZ77 one, and THAT made it freeze with the exaggerated beeping noise of DEATH. We only worked like 3 hours on it, even added the collisions!!
    I'm mean look at it!

    So if anyone can tell us what do to or maybe fix it themselves, then please HELP! And if you do help then Thank you in advance!

    Uh... well,the only solutions I can think of is either trying to get the file size down by removing unnecessary things, or by using Riivolution, in which file size doesn't matter. Since I mainly use Riivolution, I could try this out, if you need somebody for that.

    I remember that Smashbox has a File Resizer tool.....maybe you could try with that.....

    If any PAC file is compressed or contains compressed contents, it'll cause game crashes if the file size is greater than its unedited counterpart.

    One way to reduce file size is to reduce the quality of the texture parts.  After all, high quality stuff use more memory than low quality stuff.

    Thank you guys for replying, I'm going to try to reduce the quality of the textures first and if that doesn't work then, Calamitas, I would love for you to try it after that point, thats if you want to. And thank you Micaiah91. When you work for 3 hours good stuff happens XD!

    Something else I personally would first get rid of the background, that might help get rid of some of the size without impacting the stage too much.

    I took off the back ground and decreased the quality of the textures and it only the size only went down by 32 KB, so now its 1,406  KB,which is still to large... This sucks!
    Nobody knows any other way to shrink the file size, I really don't want to be forced to use Riivolution just to play on this stage.
