Hi!
As Jeff-Groves stated, ID are the large part of problem, if you want to optimize an SH3 installation. SHD parts are useless also, if you aren't interested in shadows.
Also, there are a lot of 3d parts who are repeated: sometimes, for example, you can have an ocean liner with 10+ identical lifeboats, and every lifeboats has an identical 3d model. 10 models and 10 id, who can be reduced to one.
Good luck for your mod (or mod idea).
Optimize, go radical, skin the beast.
I'll download and test your final version.
If she'll be ok, i'll install the italian entire fleet on top of it
(seriously, my favourite campaign is the mediterranean one, and the med camp without italian units it's so... meh...)
Best regards,
Vd
PS: "Everyone wants to add an entire Italian fleet [...] giving every ship model to all nations rosters when some nations are never at war or you'll never encounter." Well, maybe not everyone, but i'm glad someone like the italian units. Btw, i guess should be easier to meet a random ww2 italian torpedo boat \ corvette \ destroyer in the Med than an Iowa into the Atlantic Ocean..
