Bug description: The Scenery Pack is 2.7Gbs. But when i “Build and export”,
The market Place file is 12Gbs. Its due to the textures files being a different size. Is this normal? See the same file in the screenshot below. Normal Scenery pack on the left. Marketplace package on the right.
Iirc it is because of streaming
So the server can take care of compression only, rather than decompress and compress again (with potential quality loss)
This is not a bug.
For optimization purposes, Marketplace package textures are compressed during ingestion.
The size you see here is not representative of the final package size.
once the download feature will be enabled for content purchased on the marketplace, will the uncompressed version be downloaded or a compressed version? Because if uncompressed, since that is the package you upload to the marketplace, I think it would fill up users’ disk quite quickly
Yes, we are using a proprietary algorithm for this which cannot be included in the sim EXE for legal reasons. Also, this allows us to change the compression algorithm if required.
