Valve's TF2 maps are 50/60 Mb in size. However, I didn't do lightmap optimization. Pretty much everything uses 8 instead of the default 16.
I don't know how much that would have lowered the filesize by, but I imagine it wouldn't be less than 35 Mb in size afterwards anyway.

Hey guys!
Wow, it's certainly been some time since I last posted on here!
Anyway, for the past month and a half I've been working on my own custom TF2 map. It was set in a Quarry but it has now evolved into a Cavern sort of setting.
Version 1 of Quarry was released last Wednesday...
Reason to come back: To see people going crazy about a guy having fun posting some news. I never really read the bulk of news posts, I click the link and click the images. I've read every single of Sui's posts.

Ok, thanks mate. I think this is my final spec for my new computer:
-AMD Athlon 64 4200 AM2
-Any pretty cheap AM2 compatible motherboard that supports PCI-E and has 4 RAM slots :P
-Nvidia 7900GT 256MB.
-2x 1gb of Corsair XMS2-5400 DDR2 SDRAM.
Would you guys recommend that I get the 7900GT 512MB over the 7900GT 256MB? What would be the differences I would see in the first compared to the latter?
I don't mind spending £200 on a graphics card, I've come to realise that I'm going to be spending a lot more than £200 on upgrading my computer :P
I'm thinking in excess of £500 to upgrade everything. £120 for 2gb of RAM, £200 for a new graphics card, £50-ish for a new motherboard (I don't...
Ok. Well is there a big difference between the 6800GT and the 7900GT? Just interested in the technical differences between the two. Talking PCI-E here btw, not AGP.
Ok. Well it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade my Motherboard, graphics card, RAM and CPU now then! :P
I am not really too hot on the latest graphics cards and what's good for between £100-£130. I may be able to push £150, but that depends. I have had both an ATI x800 and Nvidia...
