That's actually a really good idea. I don't use the grammophone, either. It would sure be nice to not have to download all the music files when I don't use them. I've been meaning to suggest this for quite a while but have totally forgot.

thats a GREAT idea, im so glad i have broadband though, 700+ mg on a 50k connection would be terrible

CWorth · 11-09-06, 08:29 AM

I agree..

Gizzmoes idea is a good one.Seeing as I dont use the gramaphone at all either while playing that would be that much less that I would have to download.

Another 59MB could be saved by not including the - IMO totally unnecessary - enhanced seafloor textures (28MB compressed) and the Das Boot background movie (31 MB compressed). So that would be a 139MB smaller archive = about 7 hours less download time for 56k users, or about 5 hours less with ISDN.

HunterICX · 11-09-06, 09:22 AM

Well gizzmoe I hope for the 56K users that they use some sort of download app that saves data while pausing or disconect
just imagine ur on 99% of the download only 20 second to go...and ur mom calls u....:rotfl:

but yes indeed, Broadband users wont really bothered with it. but for small band it is a time saver.

Respenus · 11-09-06, 10:03 AM

But all those extra things make GW what it really is! Like the Kpt. said once, the files are too interdependant for you to just go and replace cartain files. I'm sure it would be quite a mess.

That's what I'm talking about

GW will be done as is.No need to remove/leave out items.
We like the Das Boot vid.so do alot of other players, the devs gave us jack sh1t in the gramaphone, we added to it...if you dont want it delete it or dont use it simple

Kpt. Lehmann · 11-09-06, 10:56 AM

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.

You guys are in for a rude awakening.

I'm sure everyone appreciate the huge effort and dedication you and the rest of the team put into this. I know everyone would have liked to have GWX yesterday but I am also sure that everyone agrees that it's better to have the mod in the best condition possible, even if that means a few more days of waiting. Keep up the good work Kpt. Lehmann and do not worry about any delays. We all understand the complications of the project and we are sure that it is going to be more spectacular than GW

Again Thank you Very Much

HunterICX · 11-09-06, 07:54 AM

Goodie Goodie Goodie, happy happy joy joy

cant wait to try it out, but dont rush it , even its a beta test...I want to have a bit of fun discovering the new things in it

fredbass · 11-09-06, 08:05 AM

I'm fine with separating the gramophone files as well.

Bottom line is that we get everything one way or another, since we know youall have worked so long on all the changes you've made for GWX. It would be a shame if you couldn't give us some of it.

TwistedFemur · 12-10-06, 11:02 PM

make the file as big as you want GW's nearly 700MB took me less than 1/2 hour to DL

Ya, I think the best distribution method would be to create a torrent file, post it on Torrentspy or something. Anyone else agree?
