:roll: Aww... It's still probably about 60MB when zipped too is it...?

Anyone made an 8k? If so, what size?

I don't know how exactly compression works on dds, but... believe it or not, the 16k texture I done is about 2 Mo when "rared"...

Jack,

I managed to compress the 16K dds version into a 2,4 Mb zip (85 when unzipped though).

Yup, I've also made a 8k dds version of the same map ( ~800K zipped ). I am just uploading both maps to my shatters account at the momment, I'll post the links when they're available ;)
