Show file size be4 we enter
(sry for typing error at the title)

Sry, if i post to a wrong place...

i have a suggestion to hive is, at the Map, Spell, Skin, Model Section,

before we enter it, show us the file size,
so we can search what we want in shorter time.

before enter i mean like (This)
after enter i mean like (This)

I'm not completely following you. what do u mean exactly by show the file size?

 

[jareph]

ermm, i mean the size of file we can download in that section,
like in map section, showing the file size of the Map

Download Soulchess121b_epic.w3x
([B][U]3.51 MB[/U][/B], 1918 Downloads)

(this bold text)

model the file size of the model file,
and in skin, spell section also

Ehh, its not that important, I mean, would you want to search things based on their file size? Pretty stupid. And if its to compare things, im sure you would be drawn enough to compare them in detail by clicking on the page than looking at a tiny thumbnail and a filesize.

 

[jareph]

i think those file size is really important to me to control my map size,

don't you download a model file with a size of 1mb per file???

sure there are no 1mb, juz a compare...

i having problem who seaching really tiny model or skin;
i having problem who seaching a map who can play at battlenet, but mostly file size are xxMB (cause by import model file or sound), how i play....

so i suggest it,,,,

 

[Kimbo]

If the file size is at such an nuisance im sure it can easily be fixed. Doesn't mean you should totally disregard a file based on its filesize when there are ways around it like reducing texture size, removing animations, reducing your maps filesize etc.

i'm sry my english is bad, is that i'm wrong meaning, or i misunderstand of you.

so i try to explain again,

first, i suggest to put the file size at the list when we searching (for e.g. like map seaction.) (which like xxMB/xxxKB)
But, not removing the file size inside the map, (like this)
so i can see the file size without enter the section who only contain a map (i mean this).
So i can easier search the thing what i actually want. (because i have think about the file size{like model file} before import to my map)

is that what you think i mean before read this post???
and it no so hard to add a file size at that section like this or this.

I actually think this would be a good idea.

 

[bounty hunter2]

It is a good idea actualy, because clicking each model to see the size is a pain.

Yeh, very useful suggestion, for maps it's rather pointless.
But for models, skins and icons it's useful.

Since there is a limit of how big a map can be for multi player you want to ensure that your map is playable by not getting such a big file size.

Example:
Oh this is a nice model! = I can use it in my map let's click it now. =
*Clicks*
HOLY COW IT'S SIZE IS OVER 9000!!!!! Meh more like 600kb but still big!
*Gets disappointed.*

Basically I would find it very important, if you need 10 models, you want to be sure their not 400kb each for then you can't import all 10.
My rule is set 200kb max per model for example, this way you can browse models, skins and icons faster.

lol LiOneSS, I had no idea. and apparently neither did Wulf.

 

[LiOneSS]

Well, I did

 

[Pyritie]

The lists used to have a file size thing right next to the download links. I dunno why it was removed.

 

[Airandius]

This is all the hidden features for now

Ralle

Those hidden features were hidden very good. lol

Why would I ever dwell on that part of the site? :/

 

[jareph]

Those hidden features were hidden very good. lol

agree......=.=
it could be enough.... (i mean &size)

but if can make a command like &sfs
to show the file size on the list could be easier if i m have no idea to get what size of resourse. (if there are easy do be done)
