The other thread is wrecked ...and minor executive problems continue...
GWX Beta version 2.0 takes one hour for me to compress. 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.... even though as mods go it is still well within the "middle of the road" memory size-wise.
I have to go to work in a few minutes... so what I have compressed the beta
into two halves and FINALLY have a hardcopy on CD... This process saved the
GWX ship once already so I am sticking with a plan. I'd back it up on something more dependable... but a CD burner is all I have. My DVD drive only reads.
Tomorrow I can separate it into smaller pieces and begin to upload it for JScones to place in the installer. I'm sorry for another delay... (I even had a power outage yesterday that lasted for an hour and a half.)
I'm beginning to wonder if somebody important really hates me LOL. (Looks skyward.
)
I'm doing the best I possibly can mates. I'm slower too because I'm so
tired... I'm triple checking everything and going slow to avoid mistakes.
The good news is that the beta appears to be quite stable. I tried like hell for two days to break it...
... steady as a rock.
