Awesome, thanks.

I know I mentioned this issue a long while back, but I find it odd that the ATM mod compresses the Toolbar icons in the first place. Even with basic compression, they come out looking like a blurry, pixelated mess. I always ended up removing the config for Toolbar because of this. I can't imagine the RAM savings for it are that great.

Every little bit helps :cool:

Using the stable basic version: KSP won't load.

Gets stuck at the first thing it tries to load (currently engineer, I suppose KSP loads alphabetically...).

Delete ActiveTextureManager and everything works again.

Did you wait a bit longer? As mentioned in the OP:

KSP WILL LOOK LIKE IT FROZE (WHITE SCREEN) SIMPLY WAIT, AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY LOAD.

I get the freezing, usually for about a minute or two, then loads as normal.

No white screen, and I waited 10 minutes. Nothing :(

Would it be more profitable to make a stand-alone program to execute this compressing stage and save the compressed files. Wouldn't that immensely speed up loading times? (at the cost of some diskspace... You'd need to do it again every time you add/remove a plugin though.

ATM creates a file cache so after the first load the second is much faster.

This maybe would help someone... I'm doing my own texture confings to save memory for my compilation, so here comes some details of my list (not all is tested)

My KSO Normal list:

NORMAL_LIST
{
    texture = KSO/Parts/kerbin_lifter_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Parts/kerbin_orbiter_docking_mod_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Parts/kerbin_orbiter_engines_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Parts/kerbin_orbiter_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Parts/kerbin_space_station_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/RPM/MFD_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/internalkso/analog_gauges_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/internalkso/cockpit_interior_lower_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/internalkso/cockpit_interior_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/internalkso/RCS_panel_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/internalstation/kerbin_space_station_interior_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/internalstation/SST_Stick_Petals_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/ksotug/analog_guages_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/ksotug/KSOS_Arm_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/ksotug/RCS_panel_norm_NRM
    texture = KSO/Spaces/ksotug/SST_Stick_Petals_norm_NRM
}

PorkWork's inflatables:

NORMAL_LIST
{
    texture = PorkWorks/Parts/inflato2/Inflato2_NRM
    texture = PorkWorks/Parts/inflatoFlat/InflatoFlat_NRM
    texture = PorkWorks/Parts/orbitalorb/model001_NRM
}

I have some more normals list, but I dont want to flood the thread with code and more code, I'm gonna send them to Rbray for test and inclusion in stock files if he want it.

They should be at full res. it's the Interstellar mods science pod things IVA that looks horrible! I did notice the handles and knobs on the equipment are rendered fine. It's just everything else is jumbled.

One from me, for Firespitter (I assume all textures with NRM in their name will be correctly accounted for, and thus I do not include them):

ACTIVE_TEXTURE_MANAGER_CONFIG
{
	folder = Firespitter
	enabled  = true
	NORMAL_LIST
	{
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Fuselage/FS_oblongFuselageRocketFuel/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/biPlane/textures/normal_flat
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Aero/FS_oblongNoseIntake/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Fuselage/FS_oblongNose/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Command/FS_fighterCockpit/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Fuselage/FS_oblongFuselageBattery/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Fuselage/FS_oblongFuel/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Fuselage/FS_oblongFuselageRocketFuel/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Fuselage/FS_oblongFuselage/model001
		texture = Firespitter/Parts/Fuselage/FS_oblongFuselageHalf/model001
	}
	OVERRIDES
	{
		Firespitter/Spaces/.*
		{
			compress = true
			mipmaps = false
			scale = 1
			max_size = 0
		}
	}
}

Configs can now be included in the mods with whatever name you would like. Preferrably, something that indicates it is for ATM.

Do you think MOD makers will get into the habit of excluding their parts from compression just because they really like their own parts?

I worry because it seems to me that everyone will start excluding themselves, and then ATM will no longer have auto-amazing performance increasing capabilities.

The guys behind KSO actually reached out to me to include a config for their craft. I think most modelers are also players, don't want to see crashes due to memory, and recognize that if you are running with ATM, you aren't necessarily looking for the highest quality textures out there.

This mod is not working for me...

I am using KAS, Kethane, KWR, Near future, and Kerbin Mini Shuttle.

Upon launching the executable, the game loads about 9-15 items then stops, and locks my system up completely, to where I have to cut the power completely. Not too sure why (obviously)

OS? Pertinent system info? Double check the install, KSP might need longer to load, don't do anything until it has finished. You will either get a white screen or it will look like it froze. Could take a few minutes.

New version 4 of configs is here Green Skull ATM configs v4

To install simply remove old file and replace with new version from download. File location is here :

KSP_win\GameData\BoulderCo\ActiveTextureManagerConfigs

Awesome! Thank you. If you have the time, and you feel like it, could you do a config for Yanfret's Chaka Monkey Exploration System?

Windows 8. But it has worked just fine up till this point. :( and its plenty. 8 gigs of ram 2 gigs of 635m geforce graphics, dedicated - i7 quad quad core.

Basic or aggressive? What did you do recently that broke it?
