I saved a basic quest with one screen using the classic set and its 1.19 mbs in size!

yeah, Purezc needs to update their 'less than 5 meg' policy soon.

It's probably due to the SFX.
They need a "default" flag in the SFX. If it's using a non-custom sound effect, it applies this flag. Then ZC reads it as it used to. or maybe a quest rule- No custom SFX.

Yeah, I was looking at my quest now that it is has been in the new betas, and it is huge now. It will definitively be bigger then 5mb. So hopefully PureZC will make the limit bigger (maybe 10mb). I don't mine because if it is a good game I will download it.

Such is the price of progress.

At least offer us a choice whether or not we want the quest that's saved in the later betas to use the SFX data saved into the quest, or to just rely on the sfx.dat. I mean, do we even need it anymore? If we do, then this is still viable as an option.


Oh, right. The Quest Selection Menu still uses some sounds from the sfx.dat. Foiled again, we are, ShadowTiger. Back to the batcave to plan up some more good ol' fashioned complainin's.

Not only that, ST, but consider quests created in older versions of ZC. I, myself, don't see myself moving anything up from 1.92 to 2.11... =\

true, if I were to update all my 183 quests to the latest beta so people would stop bitchin about 'omg, I couldn't read and I played the wrong version and now I'm stuck in a wall PLZ FIX, KTHXBYE!', then the file sizes for all my quests would probably double.
