User defined flag and size of .mdb
 
I've discovered that putting text in the "User Defined String" field in my room properties adds drastically to the size of my .mdb file.

For every 100 rooms I give a user defined string (for example "West of the Big City" - no long strings.) 300+ kB are added to the mapfile. Before I started adding User Defined strings my map (.mdb) was 19,7 MB. Now it's up to 42 MB and I've only named about 1/3 of my mud's rooms.

Is it a bug that User Defined String eats this many MBs?

In your mapper window goto File->Compact Map Database and see if that helps
