Maximum filesize

I'm thinking of adding woodland retextures into mission, so I could use bradleys on Chernarus, but of course it significantly rises mission weight. What on your opinion is maximum filesize to keep mission usable for standard sessions?

The PBO for Finale XL, which contains a lengthy music file, is around 1.7Mb. Is it possible to keep your planned mission at or below that benchmark?

After resize to 1024x1024, ThePieSpy's reskin weights 1.28MB and still looks good enough to resize it to 512x512 if needed. Papabear recordings from OFP I plan to use are mere kilobytes, so yes, 1.7 MB sounds like a reasonable threshold.

Sounds good - looking forward to seeing the mission :)

Keep in mind that you can add references to BIS textures without having to include them in the pbo. Maybe the textures for the warrior or another woodland-camo vehicle might work after a bit of playing around.
