Optimizebound-Advpng

Description
Someone else has taken this even further

Should probably look to them as i don't play Starbound at the moment and when i do i'll probably just use their mod, they claim even smaller file sizes and have a lower priority than this mod.

Even MORE Optimized Optimizebound!

Also has a lossy variant that'll use less anonymous memory which should help low end computers even more than just making files on disk smaller.

EVEN-Even MORE Optimized Optimizebound!

They've even optimized json files.

Even MORE Optimized JSON!

Description

Optimizebound-Advpng aims to improve your game performance without any noticeable quality loss, this was achieved by using advpng using the best compression -4 (zopfli), advpng is a part of advancecomp [www.advancemame.it] which is a cross platform utilty, to optimize all png files found within the 'assets.pak' file, based off of ozonoff's optimizebound , mostly used to learn how to upload to the workshop.

Image was taken from ozonoff's optimizebound and edited with GIMP [www.gimp.org].

QNA

Q: How does this differ from the other optimizebound mod?
A: It is slightly smaller at 44.5MBs than the original at 45.1MBs.

Q: Would this clash with any other optimization mods?
A: It would clash with any mod that has the images that this provides, but like the original mod this has a priority of -9998, so just about every other mod will go later and override this mod's version of the images.

Q: Would this reduce memory usage?
A: From what i know, no, it would only make the file size smaller which will make file-backed memory smaller, but the images being rendered will be uncompressed in memory but this will make the images load faster into memory.

then CTDS occur when u get too far ahead of the loading.

this mod doesn't even work the levels fail to load smoothly while running.

I'm using this one now, actually: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2954354494 but it doesn't break character creation so I'm not sure what's super different

@Flannel If you're talking about Crockan's variant of this mod he has the priority of -10000, so slightly lower than this variant.

The base FU character creation! It for some reason sets it to the default from Starbound. I ended up swapping from the adv-png ver to the most optimized version and it doesn't have any issues, so I'm not sure why this one does

@Flannel Which one? i'm pretty sure i told it the same load priority as the original which should make it load as the first mod so it can be overridden.

Does not seem to be fully compatible with one of Frackin's modules, as it replaces and slightly breaks the UI for the character creation menu.

@Terumi I really doubt this will crash your game as it's just replacing images from the base game with more compressed ones.

i can use it without worryng about game crashes?

one thing that need to do- rebalance quest checking item state, that make game freezeng as shit.
