I don't know Cestrals overall goal with TPC but if it's to enhance ALL textures then sure SGD should be included and then users can choose if they want to go with the TPC setup for SGD or do their own since it will be optional. Personally I prefer a setup similar to Neovalen, one/two colors for all gems, a clearer/crystal type texture for empty and then some texture (in the same color theme) that makes it look filled when it's filled. I havn't tested them all ingame but looking at the screenshots these are what I think are good matches. ( Empty -> Filled ) Blue -Â Crystal -> Sky Blue - Marble -> Aura Colorful -Â Space2 -> Stars Purple -Â Sparkle -> All purple Red -Â Cool -> Hell (or Rose-Dark)

From the Dragon Glyphs HD @ nexus However, checking the Permission and Credits, I think it's ok to do an DDSopt on the preferred textures and upload it on the Nexus giving the original author all the credits.

Skyrim Realistic Overhaul got an update for Dawnguard yesterday. I know the author can't work on TPC atm but just wanted to point it out.

I don't know if this is the thread but when I used DDSopt one file from cloaks of skyrim got corrupted twice and another one time. ...\Textures\clothes\cloaksofskyrim\ Cape_n.dds sagecloak_n.dds First time I used DDSopt both these files where corrupted, all the cloaks where very shiny and plastic. I later had to reinstall the project and when I ran the optimizer then only sagecloak_n.dds was corrupted. Also the mod Kaw Claws-Colored Long Nails have all it's textures re-sized which makes the nails pink files found in: ...\Textures\NailColors\ aqua.dds , black.dds , blue.dds , brithred.dds , darkred.dds , gold.dds green.dds , NailColors_n.dds , pink.dds , Purple.dds , silver.dds

I think there can be a possibility of UV mapping problems if any of the optimizer re-size the "wrong" textures. I guess it has to do with how the mapping was done ? I'm not that well experienced in this area but noticed the same problem with a nail mod I use, the DDSopt shrank the textures of that mod and that made all the colors pink.

I too could map the keys but sometimes while playing there where no response. I have never encountered this issue anywhere else so problem seems to be something with between Skyrim and drivers. But I dunno, the AHK solution works fine for me so I'm not investigating the problem. Ohh, :) I never checked those settings, I know I checked some time way back and was quite disappointed at what was possible to do with the application-specific settings for the Perfomance MX

Discussion thread: Small Crosshair by IceKK Wiki Link If you dislike the "big" vanilla crosshair but don't want to run around not knowing where you actually are pointing then this mod might be interesting: https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=15213It replaces the crosshair with a small dot, which makes it less intrusive but you still know where you are aiming when you try to collect things or pick up that special object. He also have some optional files to make it compatible with iHUD and to make the compass thinner. Just install after iHUD installation. I have used it for a couple of hours and haven't noticed any issues and there probably wont be any until some more essential interface mod changes hudmenu.swf

Hum, my mistake. I must have accidentally added the urn textures to my Imp. Tower archive :S

First one is very likely from Post-Processing by the FXAA injector. Personally I don't see a need for the PP when we have all these new HR textures and it ruins overall quality (imo) with "shimmering" (it sharpens the picture more then what is needed). Second one is also guaranteed from the injector and you can't do much about it except not using the injector. If it's unbearable then you might want to check out Realistic Lighting With Customization and use that instead of the injector. Also I have another bug report Section A3) Textures/Mesh the mods Ruins Urn ReTexture and Vandr Presents - HD Imperial Tower both have the following files: Textures\Clutter\Ruins\ ruinsurn01.dds & ruinsurn01_n.dds

I had some similar problem with my Performance MX, sometimes button 4 & 5 would work and sometimes it wouldn't cooperate at all. And I couldn't see any logic in when it would work and not. I did write a small AutoHotkey script to rebind my mouse button 4 & 5 to keyboard buttons and it seems to work. Have done too little testing to say if it completely removed the issue but so far it responds correctly.

That's the section that should be installed in order so it makes sense that some mods will have overlapping files. Install in the order listed and you should get the results TC intended. If I have not misunderstood totally then the number before the mod is the "install order", like if I download all the mods from section 2 then it doesn't matter in what order I install the section 2 mods as long as I install them after section 1 and before section 3 ->.

Yea I let the DDSopt run the vanilla files overnight and repacked them as .bsa this morning, now I'm using it for all the other textures added by the mods listed in STEP :)

Why is it that the DDSopt takes ~2 hours to complete the texture folder (7.59GB) and the Optimizer took about 15min? Is the DDSopt that much more thorough or am I running with the wrong settings ?

In A2.4 there are two mods 4-(FPS)Intricate Spider Webs & 4-(FPS)Vandr Presents - HD Spider Nest both mods contain textures\clutter\ruins\ruinsspidersac01.dds & ruinsspidersac01_n.dds

Ok thats good to know, one last question before I'm getting myself some sleep. Can I optimize and replace at the same time by picking the same input folder as output ? I'm thinking that after I have installed all STEP mods and want to optimize if I can chose from textures -> textures or do I have to optimize them into a temp folder and then copy & replace that into the original folder ? I guess a temp folder is best in case something goes wrong during the process.

So, packing the optimized textures as *.bsa and replacing the originals is good enough (just have to have backups in case steam wants to verify cache) ? And I take it that the Bethesda Hi-Res DLC Optimized mod is not necessary when using the DDSopt guide for official textures?

I don't have them at all, iirc then these have been unavailable for some time. I installed the old STEP a couple of weeks back and I think they where unavailable then too. An upload would be awesome since they are listed among the core mods :)

Link for E) Fixes: All in 1 Spell and Leather Weight Fix don't work and searching for them on Nexus gives nothing of value.

Can't access that thread :(

This is not a bug but I think there should be a comment about 1-(FPS!)Riften HQ Textures from nexus it's possible to download different versions either one with bsa & esp or one with loose files.
