Can either of you assist me with a little test? I've got a texture pack that I packaged into an archive but while it works fine for me, it's not with the mod author himself. What I'd like to do now if the problem is just with him, or the mod isn't really working on my end. I know the last one sounds weird but humor me if you would. If your interested, send me a message and I'll provide the link there.

"it's not with the mod author himself." I do not understand this.

[GSDFan]

@Gernash, I have not had any problems to speak of. Although I have not really played much as I am still recovering from my HDD dying.

[Aeradom]

@Gernash So remember how I was telling you that I was working on optimizing texture mods that had loose files? Well, I picked one to start out of and got in touch with the mod author. He was eager to offer and archived version. I accomplished it, tested and restested to make sure it was working here and sent it off to him. But it's not working on his end for some reason. I want to make doubly sure that it is working for someone else before trying to troubleshoot things with him (especially since he's more experienced than I with these matters). 

So with your approval, I'll send you a link in drop box to the packaged texture mod and like you to confirm whether it's working or not in game. 

 

@GSDFan Or you, either or it doesn't matter.

@GDSFan

I un-compressed worlshop re-arranged it overwrites

NOS (no supprise)

parts of home maker

vanilla extensions

Alternate settlements

DD's stackable wood and concrete

 

soo I was thinking I would treat it like a "modern" version of SKE then generate compatability patches  for other house mods.....

(Thinking out loud...Have to start at it a bit longer just had sleep to "me tinking good now" "

You ever think that some things are just too much work for too little reward? I feel like if all this is done just to get a few mods to work together it isn't worth it OR to contact the author if it's one mod in particular that's troublesome. 

[Gernash]

What?, zzz TOP again??

 

running 8.4Gb of main textures through a mod organizer is not the best idea, you need to replace you Original FO4 files to see ant speed advantage.

 

Is he having issues with missing textures and hair???

 

Also some of the texture "Optimization" mods have altered the _n.dds and are not consistent with the diffusion map.

 

I "have" looked at them.

I will not be using them.

 

Once this WIP is complete it will almost be a full Overhaul of the textures. As I'm playing with it I'm trying to keep to 30fps for Nvidia 960 anything slower should look elsewhere.

[Aeradom]

@Gernash You were the one that said it was better to run off of archives instead of loose files

[Gernash]

"You ever think that some things are just too much work for too little reward?"

 

WHAT??? ummmm that's the whole point of modding and the madness that drives us...........

e.g. "THE WHOLE S.T.E.P" Universe......

@Aeradom

YEP I did 100%

IF you prefer a SUPERDOOPER 512k or 1M texture loadout why not focus on that and create a Guide for that? It will be aligning more to your way of thinking (and many many other users).

There is a whole group of people that would be all over it.

But even STEP doesn't try to put everything into that Core list, that's what Extended is for. If you really want it to be there, then it should be in there. I just don't want you feeling like you have to put it all in at once, especially if it's one mod that require more patching and might be risky from dirty edits.

^ That is what I'm trying to do. Making these older mods that run off of loose files into archives.

[Gernash]

Making these older mods that run off of loose files into archives.??? what old mod?

[Aeradom]

Pretty much every major texture mod out there actually. After the Fallout, the Vivid Series, Langley's Workshop. The only ones that I saw that were packaged into archives were Sparrow's mods. So what I'd like to do is package them into the ba2 format. 

[Gernash]

Yep, As I've said there ia a tool in the works.
