GRAFFITI & STREETART MEGAPACK

CONFUSION ON SEVERAL TOPICS
@Krimssone - Great collection/pack and thanks for the effort!

However, there are several confusing things which I've come across after subscribing to both the "Megapack" option and the "One by one" option, which i hope you can clarify (sorry if it seems like nitpicking but i think that proper order, info, understanding and file size are important aspects):

Amount of graffitis questions:

1) "Megapack" has 111 files/graffitis while "One by one" option shows to have 124 (why doesn't the megapack include them all? Will/can the megapack be updated to include them all so both download options have the same amount of files?)

2) In the "One by one" comment section, you mention that "15 more" were added (but 111+15=126, so not 124 - then where are the rest? miscalculation somewhere i assume? because check question 3 below)

3) In the "One by one" section there are two numbers "94" and no numbers "93", "100" and "26"

4) So with all the above mentioned, if you literally just count the thumbnails in the "One by one" section, the total number of graffitis is actually "122", so not 124 or 126. So are you sure you added 15? 122-111=11

Size of graffitis questions:

5) The sizes of graffitis in both "Megapack" and "One by one" options seem to all differ from eachother both visually and file size-wise. The graffiti counterparts/duplicates in the "One by one" option are all much (double) smaller in size and visually. I assume that the really (visually) small graffitis are meant to be enlarged with PO but its confusing then that you mention that only the last 15 added need the mod, while it seems that all of them need it if they are to be properly visible on a regular sized (house) wall. It is also confusing because the "Megapack", which already seems to have decently large-sized graffitis, has PO as a "requirement" for obviously all 111 of them. So why not for 70% of tiny, smaller "One by one" option graffitis? Also by PO being "needed" do you maybe mean "recommended", because without it they are to small to see properly or do you really mean "needed" because otherwise they wont work/show up at all?

6) In the "One by one" option, starting from the 2nd (lower) number "94" graffiti down to number "124" there are actually 30 (not 15 as you mention) graffitis that have the PO "requirement", is that correct? And why do these (15-30) ones need it and all the others dont?

7) What's the difference between the small and bigger version (size/visually) of the same graffiti? Will there be visual quality loss for example, if i enlarge the smaller version with PO comparing to the bigger version? Basically, to save space would it not be better to get the small version (size and visually-wise) from "One by one" option and enlarge that with PO rather than getting the bigger version from "Megapack" with twice the file size but same eventual visual effect? Please clarify.

Findability of graffitis questions:

8) The "policeman" graffiti is number "87" in the "One by one" list, while it is number "77" in the "Megapack" list.This makes it hard to compare graffiti sizes and visually. So apparently then, for example number "7" in the "One by one" list is not the same graffiti picture/counterpart/duplicate as number "7" in the "Megapack" which makes things difficult/confusing.

9) Speaking of graffiti number "7", its impossible to find it with "Find it". The "Megapack" graffitis do seem to be findable if you type "Graffiti streetart 'number'" but if you want to find "One by one"'s "Graffiti 7" (in-game name) or "Graffiti 07" (as its called in the workshop), the only way is to type just "Graffiti" and scroll through all of them until you stumble upon it. I've tried many search word combinations and wasn't able to find the graffiti with specific number i wanted from the "One by one" section.

10) Getting an "error" upon loading in "Loading screen mod", that "graf 100" is a duplicate

(Additionally, "Graffiti 67" from the "One by one" option, strangely requires "Industries DLC")

Hello Metall, thank you

They don't include them all, because I had the kids messing with me at that time and I made several mistakes . All the confusing stuff is due to those mistakes.

1) Yes, in a futur, I will identify the missing ones and I will implement them.

2) Yes I'm made a miscalculation
3) Thank you for telling me, I'll change that

4) you're right. My maths professor would kill me. I'm lucky I don't go to school anymore.

5) My computer and connection is not so good. It's take me time and I uploaded all this graffitis for over a year. I Learn, I forget, I made mistakes and I said to myself, it's ok, it's not so important, the only thing I was upset it's the size of the La rochelle series, and I WILL CHANGE THAT, be sure of that. And now with what you're saying, I guess I have more work.

6) PO is not required, but strongly recommended. I use it and finally I considered the mod was really important to custom the size of the graffitis, if you wanted them to be huge, tiny, etc. And with taht La rochelle series problem (very tiny size), I decided to indicate PO, Move it and find it as required. But you can use the assets without PO of course.

7) There is no difference of quality if you enlarge a graffitis. tested and overtested by myself. For the second aprt o your question, I don't know honestly. I can't answer. Maybe...

8) Sorry about thaht. As you said in a previous question, there isn't the same numbers of graffitis in the one by one list and the megapack, that's why the number isn't the same, I apologize about that.

9) Ok. I will look into that.

10) Yes, you're right, I will change that also. And I don't understanf why industries DLC is required. I will look into that.

Be sure in the future I will, thanks to you, repair, fix everthing if I can. For the moment, my computer, the corona thing won't let me do it, but I will. Thank you again, it's very useful to me.

@Krimssone - Hey, thank you for the comprehensive reply!

1) Thanks! Yes, hopefully the file sizes for the "Megapack" will be updated too, to be the same as in "One by one" version. Especially since you say there's no difference between PO-ing smaller and bigger files and smaller ones being half the size, your Megapack will then be round 30 MB instead of the current 66MB but with exact same outcome.

2) It happens

3) You're welcome. Cool

4) Hehe, i was never good at or liked math so i think OCD is the culprit here ;)

5) I see. Alright.

6) Understood

7) Got it

8) No problem

9) Thanks

10) Great!

Much appreciated! Totally understandable. No thanks. Cheers!
