I opted not to respond to each and every section, since most of what I wanted to say is in my response to Forrest. Let me just respond to a couple of points:
: Unused Monsters/Other Extraneous Tags-Sil, I'm wondering
: if you forgot to start with a clean local folder when
: you started the AN plug, 'cause there's lots of tags
: in the various folders that do not seem to be
: used..."posted archer" in the monsters
: folder, "dry river bush tree obj" in the
: objects folder? I sense a space-saver by deleting
: those...
Probably I was looking at a few tags to get some info and I hit "OK" instead of "cancel", thus saving them as externals. They probably don't take up much space (a few dozen K in toto), but I should go through and clean them up just for the look of the thing.
: And one last Idea™ I had: Perhaps it would be more
: efficient to combine all the collections into one big
: giant one? Plus, that way, we could add a bitmap here,
: another there, for effects, without having to extract
: whole collections. I'll bet it would save a bit of
: size, too...
If you can get the colormaps right, which would be a *lot* of work. Just moving bitmaps from one collection to the next is going to result in some weird coloring if you don't produce some enormous über-colormap to accommodate them all. I think.
