Reducing the SE4 footprint.

[Suicide Junkie]

As of the latest gold patch, you only need settings.txt in your data folder, IIRC.

You can probably consolidate your strategies, formations, and ship name files.

23 different systemnames files, totalling something like 1.70 meg. I think I'll lose most of those, keeping the half-meg file from FQM deluxe and Adamant (it appears to be the same file.)

As well it should, for the Adamant mod was built from FQM Deluxe!

You could go buy some 850 MB CDs. Or just use 2 CDs.

Can SEIV handle RLE (compressed) windows bitmaps?
Last year I was running short of disk space and tried to compress them, but I can't remember if it worked or not (I decided to buy a new hard disk

Edit: yes, it can handle them. Anyway, they're limited to a palette of 256 colors, so you'll need to reduce color depth (but IMHO the game won't lose anything).

AIC mod uses its own graphics. so no you cannot delete them.
Edit> i have posted in AIC post asking JLS if he would mind having his pictures added to the others.

*dances around and jumps on the bandwagon*

You can delete History.txt and save 115Kb.

Proportions has not been kept up to date with the image mod, even though the image mod has some of the Proportions images in it. There are a few of the first images which you might be able to delete, though, but not much - I think Proportions 1.0 was the Last Version to have everything in the image mod, and I think even then, it might have a thing or two that aren't in the image mod, or not in the same place.

So get those images in the Image mod! No more excuses.
