Decrease low config for supertuxkart

[STKRudy85]

I had an idea to get the game faster on low config computer :

In blender add a property type disable, it give 2 level of content.
In this way we can make more complicated scenes.

Hi,

this will come with LOD support, which is planned

Okay !

Changing certain textures to indexed colors in GIMP could lower hard drive usage.

This can improve load time a tiny little bit, but then again we already use jpegs, which compress even better than indexed colors. In any case this can only lower load time, this won't make gameplay faster

I meant for textures with transparency.

Ok. But those are PNG, and I'm pretty sure PNG does color indexing

Only PNG-8 does color indexing, PNG-24 doesn't. Thus PNG-8 is lossy, but PNG-24 isn't. Before saving to PNG using GIMP, you should convert the picture to indexed color. Remember to backup original file

I wasn't thinking of indexing all the textures, just the ones that have transparency and don't have too many colors.
