there is no such thing as "to big of a zip file". You can make it however big you want. If you mean for download size, well, people downloaded Mirra's level and wasnt that like 16mb?N. ------------------

What I mean is, how many megs does it take for you to consider it overkill (so to speak)?------------------

I am going to release a huge zip for christmas... if the game is worthy, why can't I download it? so, 8 mega's are not so much... so, I will surely download it. Anyhow, if someone think it is a huge download, simply use GETRIGHT (www.getright.com) which is a DOWNLOAD HELPER, so if you didn't finish it, you can resume the download next time you connect to the interner WITHOUT starting it all over again...

Hi Elpasodude, I would download a 100MB zip file if it meant I could play a cool level. Don't forget that most of the space taken up in a file is used by sound files so if you want to reduce your file by half or more, you can use MP3 compression. For more details see: 006520.html WBM IP: Logged |
