Did you try the best compression method?

Either way, make sure to use Winrar to make the archive, as it is far better at making Zips than WinZip.

You can make it into to 2 self-extracting RAR files as well, and still get abut 7 MBs of size shaved off.

Try ro stay away from the self-extractors. People get wary of anything with an .exe extension. Silly worries about their computer contracting the black plague or somesuch.

I like self-extractors.

Ok, I RARed your mod and got it to 28.9 MBs, which is under 30 MBs. Again, did you use the Best compression method?

I chose to zip the files for two other reasons. 1 - I have Windows XP, and it creates and browses zip files as tho they were folders (w/out WinZip). 2 - Most people can deal with zip files. Also, as was mentioned, a self-extracting .exe file sometimes inspires worry.
