more efficient mod download #88

Closed wearhint closed 2 years ago

wearhint commented 2 years ago

Hi, writing this here to not attract attention on discord, just throwing an idea: can we make it possible to have the new mods/updates come in compressed so we don't have to download the full size? A script that packs for send-off and unpacks to client. It would be alot easier if a script like this is available open source, neat to include it in SMI to make it even better

Hi Wearhint,

Funnily enough, I did look into this not so long ago. It's definitely worth looking back into now that we have a new download system in place, I'll add it to my to-do list, thanks for the suggestions!

Successfully got all fresh downloads working with a zipped variant, halving download time, and reducing lines of code by around 50, thanks a lot for the suggestion!

Will be released in V1.3.2 Beta
