STEP:Extended Proposal/Utilities

From Step Mods | Change The Game


I just want to start by saying that I don't see any issue listing "STEP approved" utilities on either Guide. They are tools rather than mods so having them all in a Pack (to be install on top of Core) doesn't really make much sense, IMO. Listing them on the STEP Guide and pointing to their individual, respective guides makes more sense. Else, if dropped, they may not ever get mentioned at all and many users may not ever know of their value. That should sum up my vote on the tools in this section.

What about Optimizer Textures and ConSkyrbe? You still want that in there? Your point makes complete sense, and I like the idea of having them listed on both guides. DoubleYou (talk) 00:24, February 26, 2014 (EST)

Not necessarily. That is why I said, "STEP approved" utilities. I don't know of anyone that uses those two you mentioned. Techangel85 (talk) 00:47, February 26, 2014 (EST)

BOSS Userlist Manager

Template:Yes I prefer this in a Utilities Pack. Might become unnecessary with BOSS 3 or with MO sorting implementation. DoubleYou (talk) 23:37, February 25, 2014 (EST)
Template:Yes at least for now this is an important utility for most users.Kelmych (talk) 01:28, February 28, 2014 (EST)

Template:Yes While I don't feel it should necessarily be in Core because it isn't easy to use, for many users it is extremely useful to get better game stability by optimizing the vanilla textures.Kelmych (talk) 01:26, February 28, 2014 (EST)

Optimizer Textures

Votes

Template:No DDSopt is preferable. DoubleYou (talk) 23:39, February 25, 2014 (EST)
Template:No Suboptimal compared to DDSOpt. Techangel85 (talk) 19:42, February 26, 2014 (EST)
Template:No DDSopt provides more versatile and accurate optimization, and the tools in the STEP DDSopt guide allow optimizing multiple mods at once. Kelmych (talk) 01:22, February 28, 2014 (EST)
