Just popped by to check in, and dear lord the compression quality on the imagepacks is disgraceful.
Even at x4 (which I had to do a lot of hacking to download), they look like JPEG-y messes of pixels and chroma blur and blockiness.
They're lossy webp compressed, btw. The old imagepack setup was mostly PNG's and higher quality JPEG's.
I'm appalled. Using a backer build of 0.9.029 to test.
m not even sure if I can make the game use the imagepack, but I still managed to download everything in it and just viewing them standalone sucks.)
To those of you not using the image pack, you aren't missing much at all. The old imagepacks were objectively better in every way except file sizes.
Been messing around with URL manipulation to see if they even host the source files, and it doesn't look like they do.
Of course, they were included in the source code BACK WHEN THEY SHARED THAT. So very old images are safe.
