sprites compression

[Monsieur OUXX]

Hi,

I know it has been explained numerious times, but I can't seem to find the information.
Suppose I have many sprites that would take very little space if they were RLE-compressed.
What would be the best way to reduce my game size? Does it work if I import .PNG files for sprites, or are they immediately converted to whatever format by AGS?

Sprites are converted to raw bitmaps when you import them in project.
To compress them enable "Compiler / Compress the sprite file" in the general settings.

Alright. But I hope it's lossless compression.

It's literally just RLE. It would be really useless if it was lossy, since AGS doesn't save the raw files seperately. You'd end up losing all your data after a couple of saves.
