Slimming WPI

[Kelsenellenelvian]

OK, OK I know a few of you are wondering about WPI's increased size and if there is anything that can be done with it.

This is not as dirty as the last time I visited the theory but here is what can be romoved and WPI still runs at base functionality!

Notes:

Cannot use the USSF, Extract, reschange functions or anything else like langs, graphics and such. Remember this is for BASE usage!

OK I removed the following:

Audio (Keep the install.m3u file in the audio folder)

Graphics (Whole folder)

Lang (Keep lang_en and your chosen lang file)

Manual (Whole folder)

Themes (Keep your chosen theme!)

Tools (Keep Sleep.exe)

ChangeLog.txt

WPI Info.txt

Space saved? 18.7 megs. Amount of files deleted? 1566 files.

Left over? 3.18 megs and 944 files.

I tested this with a completly new WPI config and on a fresh installation of windows...

YES there is more that COULD be removed BUT I don't want to get to detailed or limiting on the functionality!

Remember all you need to co to restore ANYTHING is to and the files back in!

Do be careful when removing files:

If you remove files in Tools folder, USSF and {EXTRACT} will not work.

All of the themes are in the archive because they have ALL been majorly updated. You need to switch the v8.0.0 themes. No exception.

If you remove the Graphics/Logos folder, you will not have images for the new Logos layout style.

DO NOT TOUCH: Codebase, Common, and WPIScripts.
