Code:
Fire 4 has been completely re-engineered from top to bottom,
and does not use any source code from (or closely related to) Ippolit.

I am going to test this version. Any new Fire at the horizon?

Hmm, I use Shredder Classic 4 and It works quite well (so far).

kranium wrote:Hi no there's no book hidden in there. Its just the way Kranium has compiled it. Basically the actual engine is only 150Kb but the EXE file has been blown up to 25Mb during the compile. The rest of it is just empty so 99% of the EXE files contains a simple block of 0-bytes with no code or data. It doesn't do any harm or affect the perfromance of the engine, but may use slightly more RAM as a result.nabildanial93 wrote:Can I ask why the binary is too big in size, albeit it is already packed with mpress?

Truthfully, I don't understand exactly why it's a big exe...
it might have something to do with compiler optimizations, etc.
I tried VC2010, 2012, and 2013, result was the same,
but as long as it runs and is stable, that's all I care about!
(Packing it only helped 1-2%)
