Mini-Tip: Use PNGOUT to Decrease Mod Size

[Chairman Baad 1,990]

Using a program called PNGOUT, you can optimize the size of PNG files and save storage space. You can use this on any .png that AoH2 uses, whether it's a flag, scenario thumbnail, leader portrait, or even a map background.

Normally you run this program in Command Prompt, but you can also just drag your .png onto PNGOUT.exe and it'll do the job. I was able to save roughly 8 MB of space by compressing every graphic in AoH2 using PNGOUT.
