Do I need to include the original assets as well as .import?

Hi,

When I add a PNG image to godot, it creates a corresponding stex file under .import.

When I export the project, it includes both the .stex and the original .PNG. This doubles the size of the exported project.

Is this correct? Or should my .pck be built only from the .import files? Thanks!

I think you can avoid having the /png file if there is a .stex file in the .import file. It may cause issues when you try to load scenes that use the .png file in the Godot editor though.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I tried a build without the jpg and dae files but it crashes saying tscn loads need the underlying files.

I will use plan B and generate a second PCK file of some resources and load it via code.
