there's no need to be obtuse about it.
Thank you for the nice compliment. That wasn't necessary, but I appreciate it nonetheless.
look, we understand runey's PoV on this,
Nice.
but also there's no need to pretend that someone doesn't come along and further compress every update to a file size that's more manageable for some
Never said someting that this wouldn't be possible. Yet I have the feeling that you haven't read all thing I've posted there. So, as I'm a ltte obtuse, I can't help.
Perhaps the game is already compressed? Also see
here.
And I'm sure, if asked nicely Runey would upload the 99^99 GB big uncompressed version.
For anyone that is intrested: 99^99 GB = 369'729'637'649'726'772'657'187'905'628'805'440'595'668'764'281'741'102'430'259'972'423'552'570'455'277'523'421'410'650'010'128'232'727'940'978'889'548'326'540'119'429'996'769'494'359'451'621'570'193'644'014'418'071'060'667'659'301'384'999'779'999'159'200'499'899 GB
Where I also link to one of my older post, this one:
If my memories serve me right, the uncompress version would be aorund 70 GB. So, yes, Runey compress already the game. Also a compress version of the game was requested in the official compress game thread. Thus, I assume they can't compress the game more than it already is.
Additional it is much more difficulty to re-compress from already compress source than from the origin (uncompressed) source.
So, what have I written there?
- Someone had requested a vompress version already, yet no one have take the task of it.
- That the uncompressed version would be around 70 GB.
- That a (more) compressed version would be a lot easier to do if you have access to the uncompressed source material.
And with this numbers the game is fourteenth of the initial size, what I strongly assume is only possible lossy compression. I'm not the all mighty compression guy out there and never said that I would be, but as
yet no one have put a more compressed version out, where other game has one, even though someone already asked for one in the
official thread.
Yet, after I search through the official compress request thread, I found the
request for 0.11.1 and also the
compressed version posted in this thread. (And as I've assumend, the game was with the 5-ish GB already quiet compressed).
Yet I can't search in the official compress request thread, thus I don't know if anyone hadn't already do a compressed version for 0.11.2.
rf96 or other with power: Could you add a link to
this post with the compressed version to the OP? Thanks
