DraggonRR found a method that you can convert (using modman) any textures to dds format (makes them far smaller than BMP) and then just rename them back to .bmp. The game runs and seemingly has no problems with this kind of texture. In fact it is invariably a smaller texture (thus graphics overhead) than when it's in the CDDS (go figure!?!).

 

If I can be bothered I might go through and do this for all the ED textures that are in the temp textures directory.

in fact even if you pack a bmp file, ModMan will convert it automatically to DDS format before installing it in CDDS file

so don't worry about :)

Yeah but it takes more work to do the full mod man/cdds installer.

 

I for one can't get the ED CDDS creation tool to work to be able to take the next steps to get the modman instalation working. So simply converting to DDS is a doddle.

 

Your right though, a proper instalation package would be the best bet, but if Diveplane doesn't want to do them we can't argue, he was good enough to do the creative part.

 

Diveplane as your sort of part of ED will any of these mods/tweaks be appearing in the patch?

you don't need at all the ED CDDS tool (you need it only for NEW SKIN SLOT)

 

ModMan is inserting the BMP file in an existant CDDS file, (and will uninstall it if you uninstall the mod)

it's very simple, i just used ModMan Maker and i added Diveplane's files

 

that's not a problem ;)

 

here is the ModMan7 package for your pleasure
