Are songs important (mp3s in map)

[azzbla]

Right now, I need to know what you think of music.. I could make a menu with about 4 music, but all that would take about .8 mb or I could just make a fixed music... How important are songs to you? (Of course this will be on bnet)

I like music, but of course the big size of it renders it almost useless, thats even more the fact in the b.net of course and of course i say of course quit often i noticed...

In the end i would say it depends on the map but i can live with no new music too...and just shorts stuff will become annoying very soon.

it all depends what kind of map it is. I think for quick reflex type games, music is really good for the mood. But for longer games which requires more thought, just leave the music out, it distracts players. So, music can help, but sometimes it can hurt.

But a short Map will be hurt from higher size more then a overall already big one...

Back then i updated my maps several times a day and played them in B.Net so every kb was important, to decrease wait time

I think their size will be equally hurt by the same song. eventhough it may not appear to be the case with the already larger file.

I mean if your map is like 200kb and you add 1mb music...then thats really crappy... if the map already is 3mb and you add 1mb its not such a big deal, because the loading time will be insane either way
