Re: 4 Dimensions is moving on

I find it very hard to imagine why you need 20 megabytes for the world! English text compresses very, very efficiently and most world data is just that, plain text. (Obviously it's not easy for me to see how many rooms you have or if you have any other weird data that doesn't compress well.) If it really was a bit cumbersome then such a script could just opt to send the files that changed that day, which I expect is only a small subset. Something to consider for the future, anyway.
