    Like with the PlutoT6 server set-up guide (by Xerxes), it included the Deleting unneeded files-part if you only wanted to host servers, and not for playing it.
    I am not an expert with IW5 (and I'm definitely not the only one), but I know that others would also appreciate having a similiar guide/tutorial for IW5 too. ^^

            Spectre Thanks! But what about stuff in the other folders?

              GewoonIraj I have not gone through any of the other folders yet as there is probably some stuff in zone.

              However this will decrease the server from 14GB to 5GB 🙂

                this is how my LAN server folder looks like without any other files (Not saying this is correct but so far the server worked with all the maps)

                  Zone English Folder

                  Zone DLC Folder

                  This looks good, as the games mp ships with single-player files that aren't needed obviously for running an MP server.

                    There are still a few hundred MB to squeeze out of it boys 🙂

                    Also since Spectre only did show of my Screenshot without any context:

                    The only reason we can't delete iw_00.iwd is because of fileSysCheck.cfg so I did create a iwd file with only that file. I am not even 100% sure if we need the *.sdm files but the client does need them and our servers are based on the client so I did leave them there.

                    Here have my iw_00.iwd file.

                        Xerxes Replied from my phone, so used your screenshot. 14GB -> 5GB is a good enough start haha

                          Spectre x7razor_za Thanks alot for the screenshots, I appreciate it alot!

                          Xerxes Thanks for sharing your file and explanation.
                          Also: I launched some servers without the *.sdm files (except for 0.sdm) and tested it in-game (normal and DLC maps) and everything was fine.
                          So you can get rid of them as they aren't needed/used. 🙂

                          These (and players2) aren't necessary either:
