Okay, I've done a prototype zip for the new enemy graphics and it comes to over 3MB.

Graphics included are: Dragon (including new graphics used in magic attack - ie Dink spinning, earth spike), Frog-bot, Necro-bot, Skull of Insanity, Bug-eyed Kicker, Rabbit, Fire Demon, Red Lord (knight). I've included .ini files and the source for scripts, including dragon's magic attack. What is not included are the sounds that I used... my thoughts being this is really a graphics development file, and you can just copy the sounds from the DMOD. (Assuming you have it still)

But I thought I'd canvas some opinions:

Is 3MB too big a file? Should I just do a zip for each enemy to ease the download for those authors who just want, for example, only the dragon, or skull of insanity?

Should I include the sound files?

Anything over 7MB is too big for dialup users. Less than that is reasonable. Either way just upload it b/c it will be useful for some people who want to make a mod. Include sounds for better results.

At least it's better than someone on dialup downloading almost 40MB PQ.

If "FF Autoriz" had been accepted by WC/Redink, it would not be necessary to download 3 MB in a ZIP file. However, with a small FFA file of 12 KB it would be possible to extract the FastFile from the D-Mod (Pilgrim's Quest).

I use dial up, and for me anything above 5mb takes tooo long. 3mb seems okay though. And yes, include everything!
