Yes

yeet it out If there's any folders remaining in Temp(orary) that means it errored out on that zip file.

Probably HB names their glass textures differently and you need to blacklist that, weird that it's giving a missing texture though.

There's currently no logging implemented so i'll need to see what you're doing to cause the problem. Contact me on Discord: kbu

What windows version are you on?

In case it was missed: You (ED) are absoultely free to use and abuse this script however you want.

I'm sorry for swearing but that's a fucking neat mod manager, I'll add it as a recommendation in the main post. I still don't follow, what exactly would you like added to the script?

Please elaborate No. In my case Terrain textures low and textures medium before optimzation produced the same performance as Terrain Textures High and Textures High after optimisations.

It just uses the LODs that are generared in .dds files. High = 100% resolution Medium = 50%? resolution Low 25%? resolution Tbh with so many modules having wastly different texture sizes it should just be under special options with a numerical value of the compression you want.

Also dear Eagle Dynamics, the license on that script is WTFPL.

UPDATE 07.09.2024 1. Changed the default file blacklist to *refl* as I noticed choppy reflections on the F-16 MFDs I recommend to: Disable all mods Delete the old mod folders Run a slow repair Rerun the script

I'll have to check how it behaves on a next update, but most likely you're going to have to disable the mod before an update, otherwise it's gonna download all the original textures again. And it wouldn't be a seperate section, it would have to be very tightly incorporated and debugged. For now i recommend keeping it as an OvGME mod on a separate drive and rerunning only if you notice any missing textures. New modules can be optimised by running the script only on their folders and merging the two mods.

I've updated the instructions to be more clear, let me know if you are having any issues now.

Fixed the script creating empty folders.

Also added all apache reflection files and the A-10C HMCS to the blacklist.

UPDATE 05.09.2024 (V0.2.3) 1. Fixed filed inside zips not respecting the blacklist (Thanks Zyll!)

What steps are you having issues with?

Btw also setting the new "glass reflection" graphics option should get rid of the problem, nobody needs them anyways. Most likely it errored out due to windows defender or an edge case, I've had similar problems with _backup and trackir.zip. You can safely ignore it.

blacklist best way to test is belive it or not, windows explorer, it's the same syntax just make sure to put the text inside "" and separate multiple entried with a ,

Just replace it for "*_refl*" if you run into any issues, I don't think any other modules have this issue currently. Like I said the A-10C HMCS glass is very slightly tinted but whatever.

Added ah-64d_cpt_glass_refl* as default, should cover all the glass reflection files in the Apache. If more problems like that pop up I'll just change it to *glass_refl*. Btw, is the A-10C II HMCS supposed to have a slightly tinted box?

If you can provide me with the file names for that glass, i'll add it to the script by default. UPDATE 04.09.2024 (V0.2.2?) 1. Added blacklists, configurable within the "# --------------- CUSTOMIZE HERE ---------------" lines (adds a lot of processing time, but just at the start of the script)

For now just manually replace these files with the originals, I'll add a blacklist later.

Yeah should have done that from the get go:

I've made a simple powershell script to automate the process of making a "Optimized Textures" mod like you can see in this topic: Requirements: Script: https://gist.github.com/zbysiek/8df79276f659674b3926a0a757050f2f TexConv: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTex/releases Powershell 7.4: https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.4#installing-the-msi-package Usage instructions: 0. Delete _backup and _downloads folder in your main DCS Install to avoid compressing unnecessary files 1. Create a folder on your desktop, place the script and texconv.exe there 2. Open powershell as admin, type Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted 3. Close the powershell window (we don't want to execute the script as admin, just in case, DO NOT EXECUTE THE SCRIPT AS ADMIN) 4. Open Powershell 7 in the same folder by right clicking > Powershell 7 > Open Here (DO NOT OPEN AS ADMIN) 5. Make sure the path in the console is pointing to the correct folder, if not type: cd "full-path-to-folder" 5. Execute the script by typing in .\dcs-texture-optimizer.ps1 5. Select your main DCS folder in the pop up window 6. Wait for it to finish (Optional, but recommended): 7. Open powershell as admin, type Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted After it's done the files are gonna be ready in a OvGME ready format under ./Mod I highly recommend using a mod manager that works via SymLinks, like this one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3339453/ Original comment: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/323252-dcs-optimized-textures/page/10/#comment-5512828 The script is primarily designed to be pointed into the main game, but you can also point it to a specific folder. Just make sure there's a directory or a zip with the filters in the whitelist. If you want it to work on every texture instead, replace the # --------------- CUSTOMIZE HERE --------------- lines with this: For example if you want to lower your terrain textures just a little bit instead of having to go low, just make sure to not point it to the root directory or you might have to wait a light year or two.
