LtSoucy wrote:Ok guys lets put it this way to help back up Rambos point;

The GB Kit folder is 20mb's and includes about 25 kits. So for 7 factons with 25 kits its about 140mbs. But lets add all the kits for 7 factons to have what several people are asking for which is about 125 kits per a facton would come out to be 1025mbs pr facton. So in total it would be 7175mbs in total. And lets divide 7175 by 1024 it will come out to 7gbs of just kits.

So lets see. The current PR file is 2.5gbs. And now lets add 7gb of kits onto that and we get 9.5gbs for the mod. Its about the size of 2 Company of Heroes games.

[R-DEV]Rhino wrote:well with using the stock method of the unlock system, ie, same buttons, layout etc with little editing apart from which kits it has, there is a large flaw which is that, if you did not unlock that kit in vBF2, ie, the kit type (assault unlock or w/e) then that kit would not be available in any other mod, even with these settings, even if named 100% differently, unless you had unlocked it in vbf2.

thou there are ways round this which we have known about for some time, but we are simply quite happy with the current system and the current system is much easier to control etc.

Current factions have 25 kits each, those 25 kits take up a space of 20MBs.

k=25
S=20

Where 'k' is the amount of kits per faction currently and 'S' is the amount of space it would take up.

For 'X' amount of factions, ST = S.X
(the dot (.) means multiply)

Where ST is Total space taken up.

When 'X' = 7, ST = 20x7 = 140MBs

If k2=125, where k2 was the new amount of kits per faction, ST = S.X(k2/k) = 20x7(125/25) = 140(5) = 900MBs
(We divide 125 by 25 to get the ratio that we must multiply the size of the folders by to get the new amount)

.'. Assuming that the amount of kits for each faction would be 125 and each kit took up a space of 20/25MBs, and there were 7 factions, it would take up 900MBs.

900/1024 = 0.879 GBs, 7GBs-0.879GBs = 6.121GBs

It appears that you were off by about 6 Gigabytes if your method was correct. However I doubt that the kit files are that large as they would only be some sort of text file.
