48x48 tiles
Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2014 8:37 am
In my previous pack It was all about pure minimalisation, this time I took the perfect balance. (In my eyes) Nevertheless this unnoticeable pack still reduces your average load with heaps.
*This pack only includes tile changes & minimap changes
Data difference
Just to give you an example how much it actually helps:
128x128:
Thats 1717kb.
48x48:
Thats 375kb, (1717/375 = 4.58)
Tilechanges
Now we know how much smaller the files are with 48x48, lets look at the graphics:
Zoomed out
128x128:
48x48:
Very hard to notice any difference.
Mid zoom
128x128:
48x48:
Still hard to spot the difference.
Zoomed in
128x128:
48x48:
From here its visible but its still not bad to look at.
Minimap changes:
Reduced the minimap tiles from 62x62 to 10x10 or less. This will save you heaps of time whenever you want to make your own map, it will speed up the process & less data in your salem folders.
New minimap:
How to install:
1: Download the zip file from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xcxp33j3tnax7g2/48x48%20%28Tiles%20only%29.rar
2: Extract alle the files to your salem file so to: ''C:\Users\''Username''\Salem'' (In my case my username is Administrator so for me it is: C:\Users\Administrator\Salem)
Everything should be fine now, please feedback.
