EVEN-Even MORE Optimized Optimizebound!
Welcome to the most extreme field! If The Even MORE Optimized Optimizebound is not enough for you, then the EVEN-Even MORE Optimized Optimizebound mod is definitely your choice. By further using lossy compression that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, this mod successfully inherits all the advantages of EMO-Optimizebound and compresses it to a domain of less than 30MB.
Unlike the Optimizebound mod discontinued since 2019, this mod is based on the latest 1.4 game files and uses more compression tools (including but not limited to: advpng, DeflOpt, ECT, pngwolf, Leanify, TruePNG, pngrewrite, pngquant, pngout, PngOptimizer, optipng) to optimize the files. This mod not only includes new materials added in 1.4, but also reduces the file size EVEN MORE than Munancho’s Optimizebound and Master Chief’s Optimizebound-Advpng. Each round of compression took more than 24 hours to complete, and it went on for several rounds. You might be able to eliminate a few hundred bytes on top of that, but I doubt there’s much improvement left.
Original 1.4 Starbound Image files: 131MB with 24,163 files
Optimizebound: 40.3MB with 23,658 files (30.7% of the original size)
Optimizebound-Advpng: 40.9MB with 24,157 files (*Note: Optimizebound-Advpng uses 1.4 files, which makes it slightly larger than the original Optimizebound), 31.2% of the original size
EMO-Optimizebound: 37.2MB with 24,163 files (28.3% of the original size)
EEMO-Optimizebound(This): 25.2MB with 24,163 files (*Note: uses lossy compression), 18.4% of the original size.
This mod should not create any conflicts as it uses a priority of -10000 and it only replaces the in-game images with a smaller version, however, here are some points to note:
• Optimizebound and Optimizebound-Advpng use a higher priority than this one, and while you can subscribe to both mods and not have any crashes, it will replace all the files of this mod.
• Mods similar to this, such as Parallax Compression, will not cause any crashes, but this mod has compressed all the images in the game to the limit, so there may be some redundancy.
• The mod can be added to the game in the midterm
• The mod can be removed from the game in the midterm
• The mod is client-side
