When is your rpg file size to big?

Everyone wants their rpg to be playable on b.net.. and everyone wants their rpg to have cool music/graphics.. so when do you draw the line? Do you just ignore the 56ker's out there, and go for the 5 mb? Or is that just to big for b.net? 10 mb? 20mb?

When do you know to sacrifice quality for file size... emote_confused

You can't play multiplayer games using maps over 4mb. So 4mb is the limit.

But for a game you expect people to join and download, dont go over a meg, no one on bnet waits that long. Unless they hear really good things about it.

awe.. with all these sounds i'd be pushing 1.2 gigs :ggani:

thats true.. see.. i decided a while ago to make the first real good diablo rpg.. each map is an act.. anyhow, i extracted all the sounds out of the diablp mpq's and i want to use most of em =P

well.. the way i see it is.. im using their sounds from a game that they made in the editor they made and in another game that they made without benifiting in any financial way.. so i doubt that they are going to drop a lawsuit on lil ole me :D

Actually, I think blizzard may dislike the fact that you're distributing Diablo sounds to people who may or may not have bought it themselves.

lol.. you guys are too much.. do you reaallly think blizzard would spent the money/time/effort to get a hold of me and legally tell me to get rid of the sounds? lol.. please :////

1 Mb tops man, definantly drop the sounds, if only for the sake of filesize, sounds arent worth the size they take up, I usually cant hear much over my music anyway.

Drop the sounds, then it'll be ok.
