[open] Change saved vars file
The indention in the saved vars is done by 4 spaces per level. Why not use tabs? I took a 1.5MB save file, converted every 4 spaces to 1 tab and the file size was literally halved.
I don't know how much those extra characters affect load/save times, but even if they don't: I know I wouldn't mind the extra HDD space. |
Does ESO support shrinked lua files (removing all spaces where not needed?), like minimzed javascript files e.g.?
Maybe one can even minimize the files of the SVs then (if you like to cuz it breaks readability). |

Most programming languages that I've seen have no specific requirements for whitespace with python and makefiles being the most notable exceptions. On an interesting side note: Code65536 and I encountered a bug (that we haven't seen again) where the saved variable files actually got written to disk without the formatting whitespace. |

Well if ZOS found writing whitespace to be that much slower, then cutting the whitespace down by 75% is important.

No, unfortunately it cannot.

Might as well keep this ask open though. It's on my agenda to offer some more compression options for Saved Vars, this specific ask included.
