I'd be most happy with sharp 2k textures! just saying that 4k is _often_ good idea when making completely new textures (unfortunately very few people have the skills to do so).

Nono, I never said these were upscales. That part was just an example of my critical stance vs your general acceptance of retextures :P Guess I somehow only opened the textures that looked very similar to the originals. I don't know. Considering the low resolution and general blurriness (not like the originals are any better), it doesn't even matter. Not a mod for me. I wish there was some.

I checked several of the textures and when I kept seeing the shapes and pieces of the originals (which I had open in another window) underneath, I simply stopped looking further. Do you really blame me? I expected a retexture. I didn't find it. Yes it is my go to and for good reason (in most cases). I know everyone and his mother around here is drooling over, for example, those Krajuan's "re"textures, and I am one of the two or so people who don't sheepily repeat how awesome they are. They are not, they are upscales with some additional Photoshop work (in two cases decent enough that I actually installed and kept them though). This is very similar case. It's not my fault you guys don't see it. I'm surprised though, because you nitpick about such ridiculous little details like colour of the texture for the dragon skidmarks, and you are completely blind to a blatant upscale... Rant off. I agree with z on the resolution. Noone plays the game without the hires textures.

- Will you make UHD/4k versions? Nope, no need to ask. Hmm. While I don't normally care for 4k textures and believe they are useless most of the time, it's a bit different when it comes to exteriors and large objects. When you retexture that sort of stuff, why not go for 4k from the beginning? edit: I should have known better. It's not a retexture, just slightly altered vanilla textures. - What resolution are these textures? Globaly they are twice the vanilla size. This isn't even true They are exactly the same as vanilla, every single one of them. Why is the guy lying?

His textures are hit or miss, but mostly miss. He is surfing on that stupid 4k popularity wave where resolution is above anything, including quality. What's the point of 4k resolution texture when the object looks like a blurry mess ingame?

MysteryModder's textures were low quality upscales with disgusting noise filter slapped over them.

Seeing as this would probably be left ignored, I went to GitHub and registered an account so I can report this (specifically linking to this thread), only to have Tannin close the issue, apparently without even bothering to reading further than the title. Good job. Why do I even bother...

I'm trying to imply that maybe you (Tech the most of you - damn nitpicker, just like myself, only in different situations :P) are bothering with things that either have no solution or are so unimportant it's not worth it.

Yeah, and soil 30cm under the surface can be of completely different type.

Compatibility? For real? Why should it match terrain texture in the first place? Dragon is what, roughly the size of a big truck, and similar weight maybe? When that lands, how deep do you think it ploughs? The soil on the ground does not necessarily look the same as that 20-30cm underneath. I suggest to stop overthinking it :P

...what?

Creating compatibility patches is not modifying any original files. The guy is so full of himself and the idea that his precious mod is something special (which it's not) and should be protected by international laws he's going to explode soon.

Why did you bother registering and posting this then?

I looked at his mod's permissions and it doesn't seem like anything from there could imply that noone is allowed to create a compatibility patch. I bet such thing isn't even possible on any level, because then you'd have people accusing others of stealing their work by creating similar mods. It would almost seem like he doesn't know much about modding if he thinks that a damn compatibility patch could be taken this way. Even I know that. Also, language barrier is not an argument whatsoever. The guy is french, that's the heart of Europe, and virtually everyone speaks english today. Even Boris.

Partial quote from ETaC's page: Now I am glad I never installed the mod. Whoever can think crap like this especially when it involves a reputable mod author deserves no respect or anything.

JawZ, is there going to be any new version of RS/ELE anytime soon, or not until you do the rewrite (as I understand it), which will likely take months?

Allright, thanks. I was just curiously messing with the program for the first time, sort of randomly clicking around, seeing how things work. As for some of the questions: no translation (I literally only downloaded MP and ran it through MO), but I might be using "," as a decimal separator considering my system locale is czech (yes, seems like it's the case).

So I blindly started MP for the first time (from MO of course), just to get an idea what it looks like. I've got a few questions and/or problems. 1) What's the point of the first window where I select plugins? The next step displays everything again, only in different window. 2) Clicking on the dictionary icon freezes the entire program and I have to kill the process. It might be doing something in the background, because it eats 10+% CPU, but there's no indication of anything anywhere. And I got tired after 10 minutes. 3) Detect integrations button seemingly freezes the program as well. After a I while I accidentally realized I had to alt tab elsewhere to make the information popup window (saying it couldn't find MO) appear. 4) The help is empty, and I mean literally. There's absolutely no text whatsover in any category (I see the tree but no text for any of the items). Thinking about 2) again, I've now tried the same thing I did in 3) and after alt tabbing, lo and behold, an error message! It says that 4.0 is not a valid floating point value. Also, whatever is the program doing after clicking on the button cannot be aborted, so I have to kill the process anyway.

I don't understand any of the technical stuff behind it, but how can one tree take 400MB when the SFO textures are like 5MB each?

Now you've really pissed me off, and I am not joking. Yes it's just a stupid picture, but I've seen way too much of this crap from "dog people" over the years, ranging from dog owners trying to make a dog attack a cat or at least scare it, intentionally posting pictures of dead cats to various forums, to just generally saying how much they hate them. Seriously, f*ck off. You're not even remotely funny.

Looks pretty good, but the amount of all kinds of changes sounds like conflict hell.

Fair enough.

Don't give him funny ideas. He doesn't seem to be entirely right in the head as it is :P

Working on an update for WATER, aren't you SP?...

My personality is not about complaining about everything. I suggest you both (all) stop it right there.
