WebP_Images_MZ

Hello all, introducing WebP_Images_MZ! WebP_Images_MZ is a plugin that can massively reduce file size and improve loading performance especially for large projects with lots of art by using WebP images. Benefits of WebP in RPG Maker MZ 1. Smaller Game Size WebP usually compresses much better than PNG. (which means) PNG → WebP = 30%–80% smaller game file size This is huge for: Daz3D renders Character portraits UI assets CG scenes 2. Faster Loading Times Smaller files mean: Faster menu opening Faster image display Less lag spikes This especially helps: Mobile exports Web/browser deployment Low-end PCs 3. Lower RAM / VRAM Usage Compressed textures reduce memory pressure. Benefits: Fewer stutters Better FPS stability Less chance of browser crashes in HTML5 export Very useful if you use: High-resolution busts Particle-heavy plugins Many simultaneous images =============================================================== This plugin is only for the img/pictures/ folder in your RPG Maker MZ game. * That folder is usually where developers place: * - CG scenes * - Dialogue busts * - Daz3D renders * - Menu illustrations * - Cutscene images * - Large background art =============================================================== HOW IT WORKS: =============================================================== - You select the PNG in the editor witch later you can resize to be (1x1 dummy) as the Mz editor can only read PNGS. - At runtime, the engine load the WebP with the same name Instead. - If the WebP exists, it is used. Otherwise, the PNG is used to always keep the option to use PNGS if you need to and an error massage will appear in console with missing Webp file which you can ignore. Example: Show Picture → Explosion.png Runtime runs → Explosion.webp Fallback → Explosion.png Affects ONLY Img/Pictures you want put your Webp images where you put PNGS in the Pictures folder and its subfolders. You want put this plugin at end of your plugin list to avoid incompatibility problems with other plugins.
