File Size Question......

Do you guys have a rough estimate of how large BO will be? Will it be above or below 20mb

we will have several vertions available with the diferent resolution interface art, and diferent bandwith vertions (animations will be stills in lower bandwith vertions)

25MB is probably a bit optomistic, but we'll make sure that we have large and small and component options available.

well that leaves me to take the HIGHEST dll quantity available even if it takes me a week to get it

So are you gonna release it in one big thing or in relatively small things like the Babylon Project did

that was for the ensential files and not including Voice acting (if we get any) there'll probly be a 30-40Mb animation pack full of comand breifings and probly a bigger file for vioces.

On my rough guess, a voice pack for a 30+ mission campaign would run at 40+ megs. (60 if command briefings and everything is handled, 40 if only mission events)

Animated command briefings run between 20-30 or so.

All in all, if the base BWO mods run at 25 megs. (with still command briefs) with all of the trimmings you'd see a download larger then you'd want to have

Sound takes up a lot of space, and the FS2 cbs are generally small in comparison. (and there are fewer command brief animations then spoken/read lines in a campaign, a true fact! )
