DROPPED STEP Optimized Vanilla Textures (by z929669)

[Marlen]

"non-MO users can register the BSA, make a plugin to load or extract to loose files (not recommended)."

How to create plugin for it or register the BSA? Can anyone tell me please?

[Greg]

You'll have to add it to the end of sResourceArchiveList2 in the Archive section of Skyrim.ini like this:
 

[Archive]
sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa
sResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa,STEP_Vanilla_Optimized_Textures_S1.bsa,STEP_Vanilla_Optimized_Textures_S2.bsa

Is that under 255 characters, if so, you'll have to change the bsa names to something shorter

Just make a plugin and name it the same as the BSA and place it after the UHRP plugin.

That's the problem I don't know how to make it.

Thanks for answering.

Make a copy of a dummy plugin, like one of the HRDLC plugins, then just rename it to match the BSA's name.

I attempted to upload a newer version, but it failed. The thing is quite large so I will do another attempt tomorrow.

Nice, Tech! New STEP Optimized Textures will be great. :-)

 

Edit: I assume they will stay in the same MO priority position in the guide, after the Unofficial High Resolution Patch?

[TechAngel85]

Yes,

The Performance version finally uploaded. I'm attempting the Standard version now...again...for the 5th time. The file is so huge it keeps failing.

[TechAngel85]

Okay, so I've tried multiple times without luck to upload the new Standard version. Every time I end up with a message "the connection was reset". So I'm going to sync the files to the STEP Copy Share. If one of the other staff could download them and attempt to upload them, that would be great!

[DoubleYou]

Well I doubt my slow 49 kB/s upload speed will work.

[TechAngel85]

I have 1.5 to 3mbps up, depending on the amount of people using up bandwidth, but it failed every time for me. Got the Performance version up, though.

Hi, guys. Just a little confused here. I'm following the step core guide 'step by step' HA. Okay, my confusion is that I'm installing this and it asks me if I've installed SMIM and Realistic Ragdoll, but those come later in the pack. So I'm really confused if I should click yes or no considering I haven't gotten to those mods yet in the install/load order as dictated on the STEP CORE wiki.

It looks like you accidently downloaded the STEP Compilation (one of the main files on the Nexus page) instead of the STEP Optimized Vanilla Textures (one of the optional files on the Nexus page).

 

Download one of the optional files (standard is STEP baseline) and use that. The file you already downloaded will be used later on.
