[1.12.X] KSP Upscaled - Squad

[Lucke001]

Enhancement of Stock Squad textures folder in 3 different settings.

[1.12.X] KSP Upscaled - Squad Expansion goes in pair with this mod

Process:

• Used XNView MP to first convert the DDS to PNG;
• Took Upscayl, with custom model 4X_NMKD-SIAK_200k, 4x scale to all of Squad's folders, recursively.
• Retook XNView MP to re-convert to DDS
• Created RAW folder for textures
• Used the program DDS Converter from Nexus Mods to convert to 3 different settings:
  High: 8192x8192 Textures
  Medium: 4196x4196 Textures
  Low: 2048x2048 Textures
  The Compression is in DDS BC3 (DXT5), but I kept all the PNG and enhanced them as well to keep the original file structure

Installation instructions:

(Please note that you need the base game, as the packages do not include any of the configs or models, it is only textures)

• Download the setting you want;
  High: 8192x8192 Textures
  Medium: 4196x4196 Textures
  Low: 2048x2048 Textures
• Extract to the GameData folder;
• Overwrite all when prompted;
• Play

PLEASE NOTE:

Be careful of what mods you are using with this package, as it is VERY demanding on hardware. I personnally use the low settings because I use Link's Parallax v2.0 and Blackrack Volumetrics Clouds from their patreon, plus KSC Extended, KSC Harbor & KSC Enhanced that utilize stock assets, which decrease overall FPS in KSC area.

I recommend testing with: Show FPS & MemGraph. You will have a good idea of the performance hit you get with the textures.

 

Have fun and buy me a cofee if you like this mod!
