A little question:
What is the total size of the original Japanese txts?
I would like to have them backed up before deleting all the XP3 I downloaded.
The point is that I'm pity to delete the "original" of Subekey that I downloaded (

If I have the original txts, it makes it easier to delete without regrets.
I ended up extracting the original content from the .XP3 I downloaded from Sukebei.
Along with the Japanese text files, I also extract the CGs.
With the "FastStone Photo Resizer", I converted the .png images (only H scenes) to .tiff format, with 99% of them without loss of quality (some images with red tone had blur almost imperceptible to the naked eye).
The content of "image_00.xp3" was reduced from 1.46gb to 179mb.
"image_01.xp3", with 2.41gb of images, turned into 297mb.
In other words, a reduction of more than 80% from the original size.
The only reason I didn't convert the rest is because when I switch to .tif format, this converter removes the transparent effects from the images and converts them to white.
Apart from that detail, most of the size of the "Goblin Burrow" CGs is in the H scenes, so you can convert them without a problem, as none have transparency effects.
The point is to modify the game script so that it runs the .tif images instead of the .png ones.
This might make it a little easier when uploading future translations.
As Muninkai has programming experience, he can give a more accurate verdict on this impply.
