Music Suggestion

[imported_Element4q2]

I downloaded ESF alpha a while back and it was about 40megs
big. After installing the mod I looked around in the ESF directory
and found that the music was in MP3 format and accounted for most of the mod's size.
I wanna download ESF beta 1.0 now and it's about 90megs big.
Are the music files taking up most of the mods size (because mp3's don't compress well) again?
So how about releasing a Beta 1.0 version without the MP3's so people with extremely slow internet and limited internet time like myself and others can dowload it a little easier?

I'm sure many people would appreciate that.

the Mp3 directory is only around 19mb.. and the 1.1 is more then 80MB :| and yes... should be nice if they made a 1.0 whitout any mp3 in it .. so your downloading is faster done then normal..

Well you can use, http://www.speedbit.com, its the best for resuming downloads.

thats correct sierra. but i think it cost money and time for some people to download the mod. but i think it wont be needed anymore. i see that almost everyone has the bEta now.. and 1.1 will be a patch anyway.. :| ... maybe if they cut off the music in full 1.1

I must say, I like the idea of cutting out the MP3's in the installer. When you have a slow 56k, those 20 odd megs make an hour or so difference.

Perhaps making a seperate zip file for the ESF mp3s with a playlist for them already made(so people won't need to play with the editor until they want new music) will help.

Yep! I'd like that... Saves time... and plus, some people don't even put the songs in or play them..... It would make people (like some of us), with a slower connection, able to download faster.

-.- why do you people think you have to pay for dap, you have to pay for the full version, the free one jsut doesnt support skins and cant minimized toi taskbar, and is also ad supported, but it still free.

Yeah I think the ESF beta 1.0 download would be a lot easier to download if it was divided into seperate files e.g Game and Music.
I mean the 20 odd megs for music takes a while if u only got 56k and you live in South Africa which has the slowest and most unreliable internet in the world.
