TGEA.exe filesize

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 03/10/2007 (2:23 pm) · 6 replies

The TGEA.exe that came with the package is 2.8 meg and my build is over 4 meg. Did GG use a file packer or different build for that?

Mine usually compiles to 4mb with additional code. If it goes over 4mb then I know somethings up ;)

Im unaware that they used a filepacker, I just put it down to the fact my build has a few fixes and extra code...

Doesn't GG always UPX the executables?

I used VS 2003 to compile it, which has optimized compiler, so that's probably why.
