Custom sounds again

[benu 1]

I searched but all the threads were too old to continue...

So, iirc the maximum and minimum sizes of the custom sound files were changed somewhere between the last patches. I found nothing in the readme to the patches regarding the sizes. Iirc sounds had to be bigger than 10kb before the change and smaller than 100kb. How are the allowed sizes now?

I hope that i can get the MaxCustomFileSize below the minimum size of the sounds to disable them all. I just checked, custom faces in jpg format use up about 10kb, maybe 15kb if it is really a big face, sometimes less than 10kb.

I use MaxCustomFileSize=22000, its about 21K.

Faces can EASILY be made to less than this with little loss in in-game quality.

Downloaded faces are 40-60Kb

There was talk of the limits being built into a patch but instead we got the maxcustonfilesize command for flexibility.

Does the "MaxCustomFileSize" work on ver 1.91 ?

I Have set my server.cfg to "MaxCustomFileSize=22000;" but it does not seem to work?

This is my server.cfg

voteThreshold = 0.33;

reportingIP = "master.gamespy.com";

voteMissionPlayers = 1;

MaxCustomFileSize=22000;

Must be in Flashpoint.cfg, wont work in server.cfg, I dont know why. And yes it works in 1.90+.

As i said, i have been using MaxCustomFileSize for a long time, currently it is at 20kb. My question was about the size of soundfiles. With 1.75 or 1.85 soundfiles had to be AT LEAST 10kb and could not get bigger than 100kb iirc. It was announced that those sizes would be changed with the next patch and iirc sounds can only be 40kb max now. But i want to know the correct sizes.

I am thinking about the lines of "if custom sounds have to be at least 10kb in size i set my MaxCustomFileSize to 9kb."

As faces can be made REALLY small (under 10kb) without loss of much quality (not that would notice ingame anyway). I extracted a ranger face (about 45kb in size) from a pbo and converted it from pac to jpg. I could shrink it to MUCH less than 10kb without compromising quality that much. I think the colors got even brighter (or the color contrast got higher) when converting to jpg.
