Bonus Pack: 14megs or 40megs ?!

Maze · 2nd Aug 2000, 01:23 PM

Hiyas ! Okay, as the bonus pack (the official one) came out, I d/l it immediately. So from then on I always thought I had the Bonus Pack installed. Now, experiencing problems with U4E version 6; I took a closer look at the Bonus Pack that they offered on their site, - what can I say ? This baby is 3 times bigger than that official one ! Now, what did I miss ? Is that the Bonus Pack second version and I missed all news about it (I doubt that, rankly) or is that a Bonus Pack by the U4E team and they just named it "Bonus Pack" as well (which would be really daft, imho) OR....?!
Please, could someone enlighten me ?!

The size of the bonuspack zipped is about 14 Mb.
Unzipped about 40 Mb.

Huh ?! No f**** way.....So, why does the u4e not work if I do have the right bonus pack installed ? Hey, but that packer seems to be great, huh ?

No, no, no and no. Sorry, but you are wrong. The early one is unzipped 14mb and the onne (follow link on u4e) has 35 as umod. Sorry !!!

The bonus pack on the u4e site is Epic's official UT bonus pack; same that you have. It is as Swedix said: is 14.149MB zipped and 37.428MB unzipped (as UMOD).

The compression ratio is really more than 50% from UMOD to ZIP.

Well, when I zip up that 35 mb umod, I dont get a 14 mb zip file.

Well, when I unzip that 14 mb zip file, I do get a 35 mb umod.

And what ? I thought your point was the doifference between a zip file's size and a umod. Got exactly what you meant. Just dont believe it.
