I'm curious as to what kind of file sizes we should expect with BoA. So, for those of you who are into BoE, what's the average file size of a scenario? What's the largest file size you remember seeing? And for anybody with inside information, how much larger would a scenario file be, transferred from Exile to Avernum?

200K to download is fairly normal. The largest I remember is At the Gallows, 860K or something around that mark. -------------------- Rate my scenarios! Areni Revenge To Live in Fear Deadly Goblins Ugantan Nightmare Isle of Boredom Posts: 1423 | Registered: Sunday, October 7 2001 07:00 |

I think that with big graphics files, it can hit/top 1 MB. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

The biggest culprit are the graphics files. They sap up so much space relative to everything else. The answer depends on how many graphics are used. I think it's too soon to say for BoA. It all depends on how efficient the coding/engine is. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Still, some scenario files are over a megabyte, but they're easily compressed. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Biggest I seen is about 960K. I don't remember which scen, but it was awesome. Big sizes usually mean better scenarios. -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others?

Big sizes mean lots of custom graphics. The very largest downloads tend to be good, but there are some pretty big ones that aren't worth the negligible download time using high-speed internet access. —Alorael, who would suspect most BoA scenarios with custom graphics to be significantly larger than BoE scenarios. Instead of four graphics, monsters require at least twelve graphics. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |
