Bloodbunny Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This is just about perfect now, the next best thing to 64 bit KSP. I have 56 mods running now, including KW, B9, and FASA, and still under 2.5 GB. I may be able to finally use Kethane and Interstellar again too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletrhli Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 In the config it uses bilinear, can we change it to trilinear? Is it set up for that if we changed it to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbray89 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 In the config it uses bilinear, can we change it to trilinear? Is it set up for that if we changed it to that?Yes, but it will have a slight impact on graphics performance. I wanted to leave this as a secondary option for those who might want it.

bulletrhli Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Could you put a comment section in the main configuration so that people know of the extra options at their disposle? Obviously write the fact that it will increase memory usage and effect performance. I have been wondering this since version 2 but only chose to ask now since I was doing more research on antistropic, trilinear and bilinear.Edit: Obviously if you did this make it a hotfix or in the next release have it in there, don't do a full update for just commenting XD Edited January 8, 2014 by bulletrhli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbray89 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yay! Back up to 1013MB savings. That's damn impressive. I think this one's a keeper, unless you've got any more tricks up your sleeve.Afraid not. I have done basically all I can here. However, I will probably be working with Shaw (author of Texture Replacer) to create a universal texture manager/replacer as some of the functionality overlaps. Plus, I really like integrated solutions to problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulletrhli Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Great I understand how much this helps people so for the amount of memory you free up with this mod, having the option for you to have the game just a bit more gorgeous is a great feeling.

The formatting could be improved slightly but is not entirely necessary since only advanced users will really be tinkering with any of that.

FenrirWolf Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hmm, new version sounds like it's good. Gonna have to test it out. But did anyone get a good config for Interstellar worked out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntristan12 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 So just to clarify, does this mod reduce lag when flying around large space stations when you have a lot of texture packs installed for skybox and kerbin's surface etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletrhli Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 If you go around a large station with hundreds or thousands of parts, you MAY notice a increase in FPS. This mod works uses a few compression methods to help decrease overall memory usage for KSP so yes, it will have an effect on both stock and modded parts. Depending on your computer and what you have installed and if you have the configuration set up properly, there is a good chance you will see a difference.

Then they won't be compressed into unreadability! You need to add the proper .cfg file for each mod and add the exception code, of which there are examples in the textureCompressorCfg folder.

TheDude Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It is possible that this is due to mipmaps... when in use, rendering should be faster. Try enabling mipmaps in the aggressive config. Note that this will increase the memory usage slightly.Greetings,That seemed to have fixed it. FPS rates are now +- 2 FPS from 1.1. I do have another question: I'm about to tackle 2.10 and I see you've change how the config files work. Where do I look to see what textures are not loading correctly? (KSP.Log???) Also, how do I know what section of the lo file to put those troublesome textures and what settings to use for each? If I read the docs correctly, setting a texture to non-readable moves it to the GPU memory. Does that unload it from the system memory or just make it render faster because it's already in GPU memory?Yeah, that turned out to be more than one question. :-)OK, one more question and I'll shut up. I can see the only real progression beyond this point is to create a cache of compressed tuextures and load them instead of the uncompressed ones we use now. Is that something that's an option for a future release of this mod or is that strictly a SQUAD/UNITY issue?Thanks for your hard work!Best regards,The Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletrhli Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 1. The debug menu has a database tab and it will give you loads of information you know.2. Rbray has kindly put information in the main config file to aid in setting up your own config files should an issue arise. Otherwise, post the problem and one of us will gladly help.3. This I do not know off hand, but I think it says so in the config file (texturecompressor config)4. If you mean creating a cached file then loading from disc, Rbray removed that feature to limit disc usage. He has reverted to run time compression and I doubt he will return back to what he was previously using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that something that's an option for a future release of this mod or is that strictly a SQUAD/UNITY issue?Thanks for your hard work!Best regards,The DudeSo in unity, when you have textures, you can have a "physical" texture and a "virtual" one. the physical texture is the one that is in system/graphics memory/buffer. The virtual one is actually a copy, that can be accessed in the scripting interface. Once textures are in GPU space, they can't leave, so leaving it readable, leaves a copy of that texture in userspace memory. This is one reason why this mod works so well. It commits as many textures as it can. It should be noted though, that MBMs are already committed by squad (but pngs and tgas aren't). As for the other suggestion, I'm not sure what you mean. I avoided disk space as lots of people didn't like the fact that it was updating their system, and moving to MBMs made textures unreadable, etc. SO I decided to go this route, where textures are just re-loaded if need be, and then resized in memory, not disk. Adds startup time. But keeps the disk/install original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
