    6 maps in addition to Bast and Hera have been under playtest for some time now... which of those will make the final cut is Flayra's decision, and remains to be seen.

    EDIT: by the way... there's a thread asking this *exact* question only 5 posts down... please search before starting new topics.  (:

    Noooo.. You guys are thinking dinky CS maps. -Those- are 2MB. NS maps are bigger. 4.5MB-10.2MB so far. Possibly bigger. Averaging about 5-6MB.

    Oh, and it wasn't a 'contest'. It was a deadline. It's not like there's only one or two slots in the game for maps, and only the best get in. Any map that fits the guidelines and plays well will get in.

    Weird, I thought I heard someone say maps can easily be up to 8 megs. And I'm having a hard time to belive something like Eclipse will be around 2 megs.

    Edit: Darn Moleculor. You beat me.

    Molec is that mapper talk?  I always thought a spine was in a living animals, chordates to be exact(see I am not THAT stupid).  Are you talking about a part of the map?

    Nope. That's me joking about how I used to have an internet connection spliced to my spine. I'm gonna get it reinstalled soon.

    But -anywho-... Yeah, 4.5MB to 10.2MB. Possibly larger.

    Bet about half of the file size for those maps will be custom wad files and sounds and things like that.

    Oh. Almost forgot the ambient sounds and everything... Not everything is included in the BSP. Some of the sounds are in seperate folders.
