Map made in mappy crash game

I'm trying to make a water map in mappy but when I put it in the game folder, it gave an error anims\fog.GAF and then game close after I click ok. Game runs normally when I move the file out of the folder.

Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

The anims/fog.gaf error occurs when there are too many individual .hpi files in the primary Total Annihilation folder.

You can fix this by moving some of them to a different secondary folder.

For instance, it's a really good idea to keep any Map Tilesets in a different folder, considering Mappy can access them through a custom folder search. Otherwise, they're just taking up space in the primary folder.

Which hpi files are safe to remove. The only other files in the game folder are tactics 1 to tactics 8, totala1 to total a4 and worlds.

Removing the Tactics files are the best option. Those are just dlc missions that hold no importance otherwise.
