A LAN-version

[TheNisse]

I thinked about for some time. What about making a LAN (Local Area Network)-version, Including everything there not have been used in the map before because of the size of the map. I, and surely some other persons, would gladly use it.
It could be very nice to have an higher-level map in a Lan-version than all the other bad maps.

What should be difference between LAN and internet?

 

[TheNisse]

The download rate is bigger on LAN, then there is only one person who is going to dl i from here and then he can use it on LAN.
The difference should be all those thing you and Bloodletter not have used in the normal version 'cos of the map would take to long time to dl like music, maybe new races etc.

Music would increase it beyond a practical size and is not very usefull.

 

[TheNisse]

no but it is one of the possibillities

 

[Malufa]

Get some experiance with the editor first Nisse, I highly recomend it. A WC3 map must be smaller than 6Mb to be playable, anything larger than that will not work at all, not just from a loading perspective but I mean litterally will not boot up at all. I understand what you are meaning, but realize that music is out of the question with the excpetion of maybe a few sound bytes for words and such.

run kitty run has music.

i dont mind the music due to my broken sound card

there is a ways to make music very small. if anyone wants it i have a 40 second sound of the guitar solo at the start of guns and roses - sweet child of mine. it is only about 300k and so would be useful and not to huge. i was going to use it on my map before i abandoned the project(not indefinatly). if anyone wants it tell me.
