Really, what, does compress mdx do ? (How does it work?)

I don't know how to explain with English.

In fact, it (MDX compress) remove decimal part of the coordinate. this can get a better compression ratio.

Hmm.. that's pretty much the same as Guesst's MDX squisher.

I feel we are going to have new version of Vex optimizer soon =P
Anyway, if I use both, will it crash ? or get corrupted ? =S

**Vexorian** · 07-23-2008, 03:16 PM

Can't you just test it?, for god's sake...

Toadcop · 07-23-2008, 03:33 PM

IceFrog use it xD 100%...

for maps with tons of useless objects etc. it's awesome. in other cases useless =)

Flame_Phoenix · 07-23-2008, 03:47 PM

I can't test it, I only have 30 mins of internet per day and I am in a cheap cyber shop without WE instated !!! (yes I am on holiday; I am doomed I know ...) That is why I am asking =P

could you make mdx optimization, weld vertexes as well? when models are exported with art tools, many vertexes are left sepparated because of how you rigg with art tools. You should make the optimizer parse the .mdx and find vertexes which are equal in every form(including normals) and colapse them, this could optimize a lot.

You could also add an option to convert hermite and bezier rotations into linear, in most of my models when I do this, I save about 40% of space.

I used it on my map and... it is bigger after optimization XD !

Amen, I bet right now Vex is trying to access the code of this new program in order to perfect his own =D

Please notice Seruk's sarcasm.

This tool is more of a widgetizer alternative... And that it optimizes models and icons only means one thing: less work for me.

SLK conversion is good for a certain group of maps, but on others it would just increase the size. Its objective is not to decrease map size, rather to decrease loading time.

Lol, just kidding mate xD

Now seriously, Vex, can your fans dream with an optimizer which merges the best parts of Vex optimizer and the best parts of this program ?

The build tool tips are changed back to normal when you use this optimizer.

As an example, if you changed peasants build tool tip to "This is a build tool tip" after you use the optimizer its "Train |cffffcc00P|reasant" again.
