Repacking in MAX compression level. Safe?

[johnbond]

Hello everyone,

 

Currently, I am trying to make my main grf smaller. I wanted to ask if it is safe to repack my main grf to a compression level of "max"?

 

I am using GrfBuilder v0.1.30. It has compression level settings of Normal, More than normal, High, Really High, Max. I usually repack in "normal" mode compression.

Is it safe to use MAX setting? Will I not have troubles on errors of players? Or wont it be corrupted when I start patching to it someday? Dont you think it will diminish "processing speed" on slower computers?

I use a thor patcher. My client is a 20111228ragre. I do not want files corruption to happen and I stay away from bugs and errors client side but I wanted to make my main grf as small as possible for a smaller installer.

 

Any insights about this?

 

Thank you in advance!

It's not a lossless compression. It's safe.

It's not a lossless compression. It's safe.

So is it safe even if I patch to it using thor patcher?

 

I just wanted to be sure before releasing this grf to players.
