this will still be reduced a little more. but not by much.
I did do something I have not wanted to do. I edited files in the backups.
The change I made were to the combat command images.
- cb_m_01a.jpg (27.13 KiB) Viewed 6948 times
every mod carried basically the same file but with different backgrounds. So I removed the background
(pink would display as transparent, so background of combat background would be seen)
- cb_m_01.jpg (29.25 KiB) Viewed 6948 times
Doing this I was able to remove around 2500 images from installer and it now only uses about 100 images.
I felt this change was worth mentioning.
