[Feature] Optional Automatic Workshop Mod Compression #246

Open Xless-Qu-dev opened 2 years ago

Xless-Qu-dev commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem (if not, explain why you think this feature should be added)? Please describe.

I think that this feature should be added because it would help reduce mods download time, save space on the user hard drive and reduce the time it takes to make a local copy. I currently have 2.8 GB of mods installed which is not a lot for nowdays standards but it is still space that is been used.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option before publishing/updating a mod to automatically compress the vox files using the VoxTool compression algorithm which would then decompress the files if the user makes a local copy of that mod.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I didn't consider any alternatives.

Additional context

Something to point out, the algorithm only optimizes the model data itself but the camera, render and material chunks which can be deleted/partially removed (material) take up to 30 - 50 kb per model which stack up kickly.

The algorithm also can't compress MagicaVoxel 0.99.7 format.

That may be too hard to add
