Topic: perpetuum.gbf filesize
I wonder what is saved in there that makes the file grow in size over time.
AFAIK user settings are stored in local.gbf, Terrain data in layers.gbf
Yesterday i though - client lagging, loading ultra slow and such - time to get a fresh gbf from the server, and delted the 1.9GB big perpetuum.gbf and started the client.
then, after it was done, looking into the directory again, i saw that the new one had only 800 MB.
what in the world makes that file grow to more then twice the size over time? The only additonal data i can imagine that is stored locally in the client would be the black lines for walls and gamma buildings on the map.
Terraformed terrain should not change a single byte in filesize, since from my understanding, it would overwrite a stored value in layers.gbf.
Chatlogs, screenshots and combatlogs are written into seperate TXT files.
so, what could that 1.1GB data be, that my client has collected over time?
