Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

Levels are massive in packaged project

0

I'm packaging my project for Android ETC2 and I'm noticing that my levels are taking up about 85% of the entire package size. I have about 50 small levels. The OBB is about 400mb with them all but 50mb with just 1 level. Lighting is baked in the levels but lightmap resolution is low and even packaging without lighting built doesn't seem to change the file size much at all.

Could anyone shed some light on this? Maybe I'm missing a setting in project settings somewhere? Or does anyone know what normally causes a saved level file to be large? My assumption would have been lightmaps, but as I mentioned it doesn't seem to be that.

Thanks, joe
