Thank you. If I manually read through the bat and delete appropriate HRDLC files my comments/questions are in (parentheses) Moderator note: added spoiler tags. ~Farlo
so editing the batfile like this for example...
subst r: ".\HRDLC1\textures" would for me become
subst r: "E\Skyrim\Working Directory\HRDLC1\textures"
etc. for subst w and subst q
It is seemingly simple which is why I can't understand why it's not functioning. The subst commands in the bat should create the appropriate paths.
My working folder contains the 3 HRDLC files (after ddsopt) and the 2 bats (start and remove). Running (as admin) the 2 bats results in no log files (fix or error) so it seems incorrect. Can I just read the remove bat and do it manually 1 item at a time?

IMPORTANT: These batch files should be placed into the working directory alongside of the HRDLC folders. They are configured to use drive substitution with 3 virtual drives, each representing the relative path to the corresponding HRDLC. The virtual drives used in this example are q:\, r:\, and w:\. The BAT will not execute properly unless these file paths exist. Either create them or change the paths to reflect the folder locations existing in the working environment.
How do I create these file paths? Or change the file paths? I've never taken a Virtualization course and I have no certifications as an Administrator.
My Working Directory folder has exactly those files. The command window shows:
C:\Windows\system32>subst r: ".\HRDLC1\textures"
Path not found - .\HRDLC1\textures
C:\Windows\system32>subst w: ".\HRDLC2\textures"
Path not found - .\HRDLC2\textures
C:\Windows\system32>subst q: ".\HRDLC3\textures"
Path not found - .\HRDLC3\textures
C:\Windows\system32>rem ENSURE THAT THE RELATIVE PATHS AND FILE NAMES ARE CORREC
T ABOVE.
C:\Windows\system32>rem IF NOT CORRECT, PRESS CTRL-C TO KILL THIS PROCESS & RECT
IFY THE BAT.
C:\Windows\system32>rem ENTER THE FULL OR RELATIVE PATHS TO THE EXTRACTED BSAs A
ND ARCHIVES.
C:\Windows\system32>rem CHECK THE LOGS LOCATED IN THE CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY!
C:\Windows\system32>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
Moved HRDLC to a 'working directory'. Just created file folder and called it 'Working Directory' next to my 'Vanilla Extracted' folder as no instructions re: 'Working Directory'. Copied BAT files into same 'Working Directory' but always get path not found for the r, q, and w. How does one make them, create them, or change the paths.
Step 2.2.1
2.E Interface
Lockpicking Interface - Notes - STEP recommends "v1.2 (Anti-leather)" .
At Nexus (https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2845#content) under main files
Anti-leather version = 1.1
Without wings around keyhole = 1.2
I need help updating GUI settings on fresh DDSopt Install.
Reading DDSopt Guide - Using DDSopt tab - DDSopt Configuration - Main Menu Settings - Clicking Behave and highlighting Textures produces a list (image 1 of 6) that is totally different from the list I get...(bells and whistles)
My list has as follows:
(unchecked) Don't touch HDR's
(checked) Produce partial derivative tangent-space normal-maps
(checked) Raise normal-map steepness each mip-level
(checked) Gamma correct mip-map filtering color-maps
Ignore borders on optimizing (highlighting brings up choices)
(unchecked) Compress all kown texture-formats
(unchecked) Re-compress and re-mip all textures
I extracted DDSopt 7.3 from Nexus), replaced the .ini file (via link), installed the 64bit runtime, then opened DDSopt 64 bit executable (as administrator).
