Question About 3.0 Release

posted on June 1st, 2004, 9:17 am

Now that the time is approaching, how will you release the new version of the mod? Will we still have to download both the main file and a multimedia pack, or are you going to put up one single installer for download, as well as seperate ones?

I intend to release a full package and the multimedia pack seperate for downloading as it already was for beta 2. A update from beta 2 to version 3 is not planned but i may consider it when an efficient update (not more then 40% of full package file size) is possible to do

Yea, the installer will do this for you as it was with beta 1.x -> beta 2.

The installer size goes up to 160mb for my first estimate but i only guessed it cause of the many new bigger and updated textures etc. I will assemble the files soon for a first test of a few installer optimations so i can give you more specific numbers.

Kool,
By my estimate 160MB @ a speed of 70kb/s we should be looking at aproximatley a 40 min download, hope we get better transfer rates than that. Unless your ISP sucks AN@L looks at Eufnoc

well if everything is speedy ill get my 250kbs download speed and 160mb is a few mins at best if i remember correctly like 10 12 mins

160 x 1024kb / 250kb/sek = 737.28s = 12.288min

Just a few lessons in informatic course.
250kb means 250 kilo bits per second not 250 kilo bytes per second
8 bits is 1 byte.
So correct would be 250KB (kilo bytes).



You see, I'm also smart as Doca he he

And it would be bits, not bites.

The plural of bit is bits. And bits don't bite.

PS: It's Kb vs. KB. The difference of bits and bytes does not affect the standard abbreviation for kilo.
