	To reduce the size of your map, consider aligning any texture images to a 32x32 grid. When compiling, an image matching algorithm may be able to detect duplicate tiles and reference only the one.		To reduce the size of your map, consider aligning any texture images to a 32x32 grid. When compiling, an image matching algorithm may be able to detect duplicate tiles and reference only the one.

			Infact any repeated features on the map, so long as they are shifted to 32x32 pixel multiples will allow the map compiler to optimise it.

			== SMT File Size ==
			Spring map tile files are essentially a large array of 32x32 pixel images which the SMF file references in its map tile index.

			To reduce the size of your map, consider aligning any texture images to a 32x32 grid. When compiling, an image matching algorithm may be able to detect duplicate tiles and reference only the one.
