Controlord, why don't you do it then? show the perfectly equal in quality results too

The assets in question weren't made by arctic, they're from the game Day of Infamy, so the person who compressed this didn't "steal" the assets by uploading a compressed version, all that was "stolen" was text files for the weapons, which if that's a big deal, you could easily create an identical one with the same exact stats. :/

call me a bitch or that i support work stealing or that im just lazy but i love your work and i just wanted to kindly ask you that when you have free time can you compress Gunsmith reloaded or gunsmith source pls?

blender can fucking do it with a fucking button press.

Reducing specific polygons is a very monotonous and, unfortunately, manual process. It cannot be automated and software applied, as I managed to do with textures.
If ARC9 were stable for server play, I would take them more seriously.
And so, I will do this for all addons for people, but now I don’t have enough time for them because I’m doing mapping.

So there is no question of attention - it was done for the server. No one wants to download 500 MB of content if it can be turned into 127 MB by sacrificing texture quality.

Perhaps in a week I will finish this version and release some of the other addons.

Only the authors seem to me not very happy with what I do.


But. Once again I will repeat: it was made for the server.

Compression mods really are just a method of stealing other people's work so you can claim a little piece of attention

amazing, pls compress more arc9 mods!

do you think you could do the same for the commonwealth weapons?
also i suggest trying to figure out how to lower the poly counts of the weapons themselves, that will make the file size even smaller

oh thank fucking christ

silly

Side-note, i've already bugged Trueblood about this before this addon was published. Come join us sharing our criticism if you think we cannot do better

@Makuta Zuul sure. Step one. Dont use compressed sounds in lossless audio formats. Ogg Vorbis format is used for a reason. Lets wait for him to take that into action and we can work on the next step :)

This version used 4x compression. From 1024x1024 to 256x256, 4096 to 1024 etc.

Normals and exp textures im retrieved in future.
More weapons have 512 texture.
models have 60-70 mb weight. Textures - 30 mb weight. Sound - 40 mb.

Take feedback for me how needed much good

@CturiX @Stan_Jacobs
If you say such things, it means that you can do it better - please show how you can do it better.
And if you can't, shut up and be glad he did.

Use better compression methods, please.

stupid

Thanks, my game was lagging a lot with the original one
