hi jamjoom, i think i've realized a way to hopefully make the game crash less and maybe reduce the size of your TPFs
make them into DDS files and generate mipmaps for your textures! i think atombraiderfan might be able to help you out with generating mipmaps https://www.tombraiderforums.com/sho...d.php?t=225979 they did so for their legend thread here. i also think it would be worth reaching out to theindra on twitter to see if they have a tutorial for adding DDS files to DRMs and using it with their hook, which would make it more stable https://twitter.com/TheIndra5 |

Also DDS files use a 'lossy' compression, so make sure to keep your original texture edits in case there's a need to repeat the process. Last edited by ATombRaiderFan; 18-08-21 at 11:09. |

love this

I converted it before with the Format Factory program to JPG format The size has been greatly reduced But some of the texture has lost its transparency, the result was fine Maybe you can help me keep the original resolution I've never tried with DDS format with generating mipmaps, well done that's a good idea Quote:
Can you explain the steps? I didn't understand this site looks a bit strange to me |

Thanks for that, it's working now Mipmaps are smaller, pre-filtered versions of a texture image, representing different levels of detail (LOD) of the texture. They are often stored in sequences of progressively smaller textures called mipmap chains with each level half as small as the previous one. Well this will make the mod more stable It helped me a lot thank you Last edited by JAMJOOM; 10-09-21 at 21:02. |

All these screenshots are from the 1.20 improved mod You can watch some new videos on my channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_qR...l=JAMJOOMGAMER It is much better and more pure, unlike the old one that was somewhat random and limited After converting files to dds, the mod has become small in size and can handle many files I think you saved the mod from crashing Through the idea of DDS format with generating mipmaps Last edited by JAMJOOM; 18-09-21 at 11:20. |

Maybe you're interested on adding this outfit to your HD mod =)
Wish made it into the final game. Looks so vibrant even if is just a white color swap |
