Guide:DDSopt/Batch Files/2 Pre-Optimization
From Step Mods | Change The Game
REM Batch file to perform several tasks to prepare vanilla textures REM for optimization using DDSopt as per steps in the DDSopt guide (https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/Guide:DDSopt#tab=DDSopt_Optimization). REM It is only useful when being used with other steps described in this guide. REM Like all batch files that change or add files, it needs to be run with Administrative Privilege. REM If this batch file is edited, this MUST BE DONE with an editor that does not add additional characters (e.g., line feed, carriage return) REM these characters are often invisible but can cause the batch file to malfunction REM DO NOT USE a default Windows text editor to edit this file REM Editors like Notepad++ (which was used to create this file), TextPad, UltraEdit are fine REM It expects that there is a Working directory containing the "Vanilla Extracted" directory REM This directory should not be in any User Access Controlled (UAC) directory such as Program Files or Program Files (x86). REM It expects that the BSA contents have already been extracted into folders in the "Vanilla Extracted" directory REM It expects a folder in "Vanilla Extracted" labeled "STD" REM If the HRDLC are being optimized, the extracted BSA contents should be in "HRDLC1", "HRDLC2", "HRDLC3" in "Vanilla Extracted" REM If there are any optional DLC being used their BSAs should have also been extracted into "Vanilla Extracted" REM with folder names of "Dawnguard", "Hearthfires", and "Dragonborn" (based on the DLC being used). REM REM The batch file first copies .png files in the STD folder in "Vanilla Extracted" to the STD folder in "Vanilla Optimized" REM The .png files in the DLC BSAs REMain there so they don't need to be copied REM REM To prepare the vanilla textures this batch file copies vanilla texture files (files ending in .dds) from folders REM in "Vanilla Extracted" to "Vanilla Textures" while excluding normal map textures (file names ending in _n.dds and _msn.dds) REM from the HRDLC REM Any large compressed normal maps (2Kx2K) in the Skyrim - Textures.bsa and the addon DLC BSA are copied to "Vanilla Normal Maps" REM The rest of the compressed normal map textures in Skyrim - Textures.bsa and the addon DLC BSA are all low to medium resolution REM Since their resolutions are not very high, these are optimized with the rest of the textures without changing resolution REM REM The batch file copies uncompressed normal map textures from the HRDLC in "Vanilla Extracted" REM to the corresponding folders in the "Vanilla Uncompressed Normal Maps" directory. REM REM Finally, the batch file copies the rest of the normal map textures from the HRDLC in "Vanilla Extracted" REM and any large normal maps in the other directories to the corresponding folders (as mentiond above) in the "Vanilla Normal Maps" directory. REM REM While the batch file runs there will be a command window that echoes the commands REM This allows monitoring the progress of the batch processing if desired, although it is not required. REM the initial 2 lines should ensure that the system provides the correct working directory name in %cd% REM This is needed for a small percentage of systems, probably because of interaction with Windows UAC on those systems REM tests added 8/18/2013 to make sure the batch files are in the right folder and the folder structures are correct @setlocal enableextensions @cd /d "%~dp0" echo off echo. echo The system says the Working Directory is %cd% echo This directory should include the "Vanilla Extracted" directory echo If any of the above is incorrect terminate the processing and fix the problem echo.
