| Quoting dankone | in reguards to my RFUmap;
i have made fixes to the problems(small ones)that have been pointed out to me, but havnt uploaded the newer version, because id like to get more feedback before i do. having to constantly DL my map is prolly a pain in the booty for some of you dial up fraggers.  anyways, i was just wondering if others i hadnt heard from have tested it, and wether or not they found issues/problems. please post back here if you have tested, and your thoughts.

A1, I noticed a slight texture glitch which I described to you. I took screenshots and will send them to you next time we're on MSN at the same time. Also, one trash can let me walk right through the side of it while a different one made me climb on top to get in. I'm not sure if this was deliberate or not.

hmm does our music file have to be only 10mb? because the half an hour of mus i was planning to put in is about 26mb rared or if i cut that down to 20 min thats about 19mb rared and the least i can get it is about 11mb and thats for about 10 min of mus i would really like to include all 30 min of mus, because all the songs/ambientish mus suit the map, or atleast the 20 min of mus... do i have to cut it down to around 10mb?  |

simply put. YES. its in the rules. 10mb for the map, and ten for the music. no i dont believe your allowed 20mb total. just up to 10 each. that sucks man, but im sure you can figure a way to condense it.  what format WAV did you make it? 8bit 16bit? what? stereo, CD, mono? |

The map VPP must be 10MB. We're being a little leniant on the music VPP, however, don't go crazy. Consense it as much as possible. |

I have some quite nifty music programs here, and i'm quite handy with them. maybe I can help you reduce the filesize a bit, just IMS me if your intrested in the help.  |

my music is in dBpowerAMP's 'telephone quality' which is 11.025KHz, 16bit, mono, 21kb/s would u be able to compress it more without loosing too much quality? because if i go any lower it sounds fuzzy... |

change it to 8bit and see what size you get. thats what i always use for RF maps, and it always sounds fine to me. and when compressing it, use winrar set on BEST compression.

i think i found out what i'll do to make the size smaller  i was messing around with all the different wave formats and i found that if insted of using 'PCM' format you can use 'Microsoft ADPCM' and use 22.050KHz, 4 Bit, Mono, 10 kb/s and it sounds the same or even better then PCM 11.025KHz, 16bit, mono, 21kb/s and its half the size and rf can still read it the song i tried it on was 4.92mb in PCM 11.025KHz, 16bit, mono, 21kb/s and only 2.49mb in Microsoft ADPCM 22.050KHz, 4 Bit, Mono, 10 kb/s and it sounds the same or better
[edit]
Woot 28 min of music and only 15mb rared is 15mb acceptable for the music file size?  |

Interesting discovery IAC, WELL DONE I'll have to give that a whirl, although I rarely see any need for more than one song in a level, keeps the non-music lovers at bay too
JUST TO MAKE SURE NOW, HAS EVERYONE REFRAINED FROM USING MUSIC EVENTS IN THEIR RFU4 MAPS? I THINK THIS IS THE FAIREST WAY SO AS NOT TO EXCLUDE ANY MAC USERS THIS TIME.
