Compressing Files

Elementalzx14 · 09-11-2012

So i ran out memory recently and i went to go delete some apps, until I saw the size for Graal Online Classic 450MB recently it was just at 150MB, compressing the files maybe can help shrink the size of this app, i mean really its almost half a gig

I think most of the content is compressed: it's just the sheer amount of content. You have to download every single new graphic that you see in the game. They are all using compressed formats (no BMPs here!) so that's not a solution.

A possible solution would be to have some algorithm which removes content unused for 'x' amount of time.

Another reason i hate custom uploads system.

Compressing means decompressing on the fly = a lot of CPU usage.

We should have an option to have the older unused graphic files get deleted if they aren't used.

Can any staff on iClassic check to see how much space the entire graphics folder alone takes?
