I'm re-working our graphics for printing your own Arcomage cards and there might be a problem: file size.... 07/17/2007, 23:26:03

Bones writes: The old graphics were done as 256-color GIFs. The entire package was made of three ZIP files of under 800kb each. The re-worked graphics (BMPs) are more attractive but it looks like each ZIP file would be about 10mb. No, JPGs won't do. So what're the feelings of those folks who are likely to want to print our their own set of Arcomage cards? My vote is for the smaller files for many selfish reasons, but I'm willing to be over-ruled.

Perhaps I should show some examples.... - Bones ( Tue 17-Jul-07 23:46:24 ) img +1 Yeah. The big file is so much better that there's no real comparison. - Peter2 ( Wed 18-Jul-07 03:49:41 ) +1 Is there some reason all the cards have to go into the same file? - Christy ( Wed 18-Jul-07 06:12:49 ) +1 You missed one point. There would be three 10mb files. (n/t) - Bones ( Wed 18-Jul-07 08:15:03 ) Please don't compromize - Chlala ( Wed 18-Jul-07 08:57:09 ) i don't care about the download size. i've downloaded terrible demos that were prolly 10x bigger'n what you're predicting. bring 'em on. (n/t) - vesselle ( Wed 18-Jul-07 18:56:51 ) I don't understand what's wrong with jpg's? - Stash ( Wed 18-Jul-07 23:54:29 ) +1 JPGs are great with images by rough on text, but... - Bones ( Thu 19-Jul-07 01:12:00 ) bones would it be possible - Rhys ( Thu 19-Jul-07 11:48:47 ) +1 I'm afraid I don't know how 3DO had that set up.... - Bones ( Thu 19-Jul-07 19:44:36 ) +1 Fair do's (n/t) - Rhys ( Fri 20-Jul-07 05:24:51 ) +1 I download patches, mods and demos from 40 MB to 800 MB daily .30 MB is not a problem at all nowdays (n/t) - Edelward ( Sat 21-Jul-07 08:54:59 ) +1 For many, perhaps, but I was hoping to hear from folks who are still on slower connections. (n/t) - Bones ( Sat 21-Jul-07 09:24:31 ) +1 Are the cards ready to be uploaded, Bones? - JulianRoss ( Sun 22-Jul-07 07:46:34 ) +1 Possibly tonight.... (n/t) - Bones ( Sun 22-Jul-07 12:51:11 )
