This is excellent news. I'll keep one eye out.:up:

Mast

He wasn't saying "the file is too big" he ment it's too big for a CD due to him not having a DVD burner, if he did have a DVD burner then it would be no problem.
@Giz not my personal opinion..it's a fact. KL will reply as soon as he is able to.

For example as far as realism advances in GWX....

Our new sensors package was developed separately...
Our new damage model was developed separately...
The LRG mod was developed separately...
The real life U-boat Behavior mod was developed separately
The real life ship behavior mod was developed separately...
Our campaign files were developed separately...
Our flotilla base and operational areas were developed separately...

Shall I go on? I could do this all day.

(uploading in progress to JScones for installer emplacement)

For anyone thinking that GWX is just an eye and ear candy mod... You are going to be jumping HEADLONG into a tub full of icewater.

I will likely have to release an "easy mode" package for those who have an unendurable time with our ASW mods.

Its just that we have been worked terribly hard to make sure that we kill the idea that GWX is just "sound and graphics"... Those are simply the things that grab everyone's attention because you cannot see or hear the code.

Just you wait and see if I'm blowing smoke. :arrgh!: You guys are in for a rude awakening.

Here is what he wrote: "It compresses to 762 mb. I have some tough decisions to make regarding the final size of the GWX mod that I will be making tomorrow in conference with the team. Anything over 700 mb for the base installation limits its final availability to many users...."

If you guys are picking a fight here... I swear I'm going to bang your heads together.

I'm doing ten things at once now too... uploading... re-compressing... reading... posting...

Yes we are leaving all in... The choices of what might have to be sacrificed to keep under a certain size were too painful.

Besides... Its hard enough to call our baby "finished" and to set here out into the big wide world of armchair mod critics LOL.

The GWX mod when it is release will be available in 150 mb chunks... If this is saved to disk... and you install it... It will simply ask for the second disk.

I'm guessing the final count will be approx 800 mb. There isn't much more to be done to it really.:smug:

No fight here KL, just trying to clear somethings up.
Thx for the response and update.

Thanks for the clarification Pants.

Can someone make this uploading GO FASTER!!!!???!!! :damn:

LOL... to be expected... will likely take all day... If no problems... initial upload should be complete before I return to work tonight.

Gizzmoe's idea is very good :up:
We were waiting for GWX so many times that we can wait some days more.
I'd like to test stable, perfect work - I hope it will be fantastic experience.

Maybe it is a good idea, but it is also a mute idea as KL has stated nothing is being left out.Not having a go at anyone, just dont want this thread to end up like the others.
The Beta is stable and you're not the only one looking forward to it , the majority of the Dev team hasn't played the "complete final version";)

Well... sometimes being the boss has its advantages. I always take the team's into account but again as far as game mod sizes go... GWX is in the middle of the road.

In this case it means I can change my mind and keep a few more people happy. :arrgh!:

Part of building a good mod is filling in all the holes... The gramophone is one of those holes. New users that are uncomfortable modding their own game will have a basic selection of period music to listen too... Heck... Its not as if we put 250 pieces of music in there... its pretty basic.

If we were to remove stuff we would surely look at the gramophone as a part of the trimming down.

The people here who mod their own game will do as they choose anyway... easy as pie... whether it is changing the gramophone of many other things.

Teehee. I did. Just in final testing of all the parts from the different departments finally put together in the most complete way that even I've seen it...

The overall impact blew my socks off...

... and I went to Gibralter. :doh:

Great work guys.
Weather it be a smaller DL or Larger one that was talked about eariler. Im sure know one really cares that much as we all know this Mod is going to blow us all away:yep: :up:
Thanks for the hard work DEV TEAM:up:

:rotfl: let me guess the upload is going as fast as if ur emptying a big swimming pool with a small garding hose

Exactly:stare:

(Grumble grumblegrumblegrumble!)

Got the same thing here...I,m like..comon!!! and I wish I could trade the upload speed for my download speed.

havent seen anything of GWX yet so I think this mod will suck ass

:huh: did I just said that? ow dear god...someone pass me a gun i,m going to kill myself:dead:
