Re: what is #pragma compress 0 - Markski - 28.01.2020

The "#pragma compress" directive toggles wether or not the compiler's generated bytecode will be in either compact or plain encoding. If the value is anything but zero, compact encoding is used, otherwise, plain encoding is used. Sometimes certain scripts may not compile if compact encoding is enabled, so if you saw this in a previously written script, that's likely the reason why that's there.

Why would you want to change it, in the first place?

Certain scripts might not compile properly with compact encoding enabled. I reckon perhaps scripts which handle strings in one way or another, but not sure.

If your script compiles correctly, don't touch this directive.
