PBEM file size. - Copper - 07-30-2007

LOL.. moved a handful of Strykers in my game with Fubar and the file notched up a 5MB bundle of code..!!!!

Reports are coming in that some pbem files are rattling in at 14MB... wooo!!!

RE: PBEM file size. - Fubar - 07-30-2007

Yep their some big ass files, am i correct in thinking that WinRar compresses files down to a smaller size than a zip file?

cheers

No, there will be no compression benefit - the files are already compressed.
I wonder what sizes will be for a big scenario...

RE: PBEM file size. - jomni - 07-30-2007

oh no! won't that make the game unplayable?
so sad. :(
I'm an avid pbem player.

Nah, 14 meg is doable. You just leave it sending/receiving in the background....you'll hardly notice it.

RE: PBEM file size. - McIvan - 07-30-2007

Ermm......unless you're on dialup of course. I presume dial-up still exists.

14MB is fine with me as I'm on cable but what about email provider file size limits?

RE: PBEM file size. - Copper - 07-30-2007

Just use gmail.

Oh yeah, quite right. Mine is 30 meg....should be ok, hopefully, but I bet 10meg is still pretty common. Bootie could find himself doing quite a few gmail invites in the near future :)
