What in the heck is this map and why is it a whopping 29.7 megs? A map that size is just insanity.

Even though Konigsplatz and Odessa is around that size having to download it from the server though is just bad news as it takes forever and a year.

Mga has a large file size due to a combination of things:

  1. Lots of custom textures - sky texture, woods, posters, treelines, terrain, etc. Some of these have transparency, which bumps up the file size.
  2. Lots of custom meshes - Bf-110, the Farmhouse, the flatcars in the station, etc.
  3. Imported meshes from the RO mod - such as the Jucha barn
  4. A 1 1/2 minute clip of the Leningrad symphony #7, written during the siege. (I thought it was important to include that in there).
Also, instead of separating out everything into individual packages - Meshes in one, Textures in another, Audio in a third - I decided to contain everything inside one map file. This makes it much easier for servers to install it and redirect it (working with just one file instead of four), and much easier to maintain version control.
