Not bundling FLIC files into the EXE [SOLVED]

[simulacra]

For compatability reasons, I have decided to use FLIC files for animations and videos. However, they inflate the EXE file size very much and it makes me nervous because I figure it could cause memory problems if it's too large (please correct me if I'm wrong). Is a 80 meg exe a problem? And is there a way to be able to play flic files without having to bundle them into the exe? Or can I use another video format and still be compatible with Linux and DOS?

The size of the EXE shouldn't matter. The only possible problem is with anti-virus utilities that scan all EXEs before they run, in which case you could experience a slow load time with a large exe.

If you don't want to bundle the flic's, just put them in your Compiled folder rather than your game folder, and they won't get built into the EXE.

Right, thank you. I have noticed long loading times.

If you don't want to bundle the flic's, just put them in your Compiled folder rather than your game folder, and they won't get built into the EXE.

This should perhaps be included in the manual under the "PlayFlic" section.
