If this is what i hope it is, school just got WAY more awesome :D

Edit:

If you can remove sounds to make it take less space that would be the best! :wink:

Edit: i was searching for "mini-nex" and "micro-nex" and the only i found was CrazyClone's project for the Playstation Portable:

One way to "lighten" Nexoooiz is to reduce it's rendering settings as described here: http://www.forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=4049

Then, for 1980s-tastic tronalicious arcadeorific graphicspam from the 256colour era you can:

i'd like to squeeze it even further, but my resources are limited. For example, the maps or models could be optimized - something i would have to learn from scratch.

Also, i don't know much about compression techniques. Dunno how much can be done there, like, compressing each folder, if that would work at all with Nexuiz.

Changing content I'm not so sure about. It means the game is no longer OK for competition use.

If you want to make a Windows only download, it's probably best to go for a self extracting SFX archive. 7-zip can do this.

For PK3 file compression and other tips on making things small, see this thread:

Competitive use is out of question, of course.... or is it?

The goal is the smallest playable state. i only know kkrieger in that category.

kkrieger doesn't count, really. It would be impossible to get it down under a megabyte.

I would imagine you could get it down to 25-30 MB, but what's the point? Why not just pick up a 1GB USB drive, you can get one for like 8 dollars.

They'll be smaller download size, less disk footprint for netbooks that have small storage, it'll load quicker with smaller data files and it may run quicker.
