Texture packs
« on: October 26, 2013, 03:23:27 pm »


               Recently, I wondered why are some textures in NWN so bad when they werent before. I found out Iam missing the "texture packs"

Since I lost the CD, can someone upload them?

               I just copied my texturepacks folder and compressed it. Is that all you need?

If so I will upload to the new vault for download.

               Uploaded to the New Vault.

I started a new project with the idea that other texture acks can be uploaded there too. I don't know much about how these resources work, but there might be a way to take advantage of this.

It would be wonderful if we could develop a common texture pack for new CC going forward, and have this CC share the textures rather than requiring them be delivered in every HAK that uses them.

its good idea for projects like NWNCQ or Q project but there is one issue, game loads only certain files from the texturepack folder AFAIK and in certain order, so this will make conflicts between various projects uses this solution...

               not directly, but we could combine all default into one file which will leave us several packages free - each project could use one erf file, etc.

I was experimenting with this at the start of the CP, how long is that three years already? Well decided to add some of the tga textures I added into the smallest erf there xp2_gui.erf . But its really on a agreement.

               Ah... that means that the community pack changes are included in my upload. I changed the file description to indicate this. If anyone does not have the community patch, please feel free to upload your xp2_gui.erf and I'll make adjustments to the file list.

I'll adjust the main file to be free of the patch. And include the community patches' version of the xp2_gui.erf as an optional alternate.
