Why does the SDK have to take up so much space?

[JoshuaC]

Ok after downloading the SDK and running it I noticed a large chunk of my HD space was gone. I look at the directorys and found out it was using near 4gb just for the sdk alone (that's the GCF's and the extracted files).

Can I delete the SDk GCF's after it's extracted all the files? I'm really tight on HD space but I want to learn mapping for ROO.

The game runs off the GFC's. The extracted files are only their for SDK useage, you will need to keep the GFC's if you wish to play RO.

What about the SDK GCF's that are downloaded when you install the SDK do you have to keep those too?

[Yoshiro]

That I don't know.

To find out, simple remove the files from the folder If it still works, delete em, if it does not, put em back.

you can delete the sdk gfc, but plz back it up somewhere. Because there might be updates etc. you could call the sdk gcf the install file.

(after you decompressed the sdk aka ran it once from steam, just move the entire ro folder to some other location for mapping only and delete the ro folder in the steam folder. There are some problems with sdk + online playing.
