BROKEN [0.90] TextureReplacer 2.1.2 (20.12.2014)

[Mystique]

Am I correct that before installing texture pack (say, Endraxials one) I need to remove all TR's files in GameData/TextureReplacer/EnvMap (so that I won't have 2 sets of different textures with different extensions)?

[shaw]

If the pack includes its own EnvMap/, then yes.

So, I'm getting a memory leak with this mod. It does not seem to be a large issue with a stock install (Taking a long time to even reach 2GB of memory usage) however it can be a problem if lots of mods are used.

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

KSP Version: .0.25.0 32-bit Clean install

Reproduction Steps: Download and install Texture Replacer as insructed, boot up KSP, Wait. (Wait time is entirely dependent on level of patience)

[shaw]

I cannot reproduce this. And there's no explanation for this, TR only replaces texture for less than a second after space center scene opens, after that is does nothing. If you mean why the RAM usage still increases after the main menu, it's because KSP still has to load (and also unloads) some data and code while running (e.g. physics, collision detection, editor code, simulation code, UI, scene graphs, sound buffers ...).

But it's a constant increase with a clean install, I would think that once it reaches stability the RAM usage would level off. Instead of increasing slowly over time.

Is it also normal that visor reflections work only when TR's own png files are present in this folder? Because if I remove them and replace with texture pack ones, reflections are gone.

Does this happen with a newly created game? Does this happen without TR installed?

Yes.

Yes and No. It does hapen with a newly created game, and does not happen without TR. (it stops at 1.8GB of RAM)

I don't know what the correct answer is, I just started using this mod today and it's highly confusing for the novice. I did delete those other files in /EnvMap and it appears the skybox I wanted (Oinkers) and placed into /TextureReplacer/Default seems to work fine.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, Diverse Kerbal Heads isn't working for me. I double checked and it IS in the "Heads" folder in my KSP Texture Replacer gamedata folder. Running .25 x64 on Windows (I know, I'm dumb. Haven't had time to dual it with Linux, yet.) Thanks for any info, though now that I'm typing this, I'm thinking it might be the x64 bit windows part that's fragging it. Anyway, thanks again, community!

I am experiencing technical difficulties. I just updated, and the issue where parts of helmets would show up weirdly shiny is gone, but now no custom textures are loading.

Also, my kerbals are looking desaturated, like zombies. Something to do with modifications to visors.?

Has their been changes to the way @Defualt works? I'm using the same file and textures from the previous version.

Log, if you want, is here:

Advice is requested, please.

Temporary workaround: add reflections to EnvMap/ folder.

UPDATE: Fixed in 1.8.1.

Is there any way to make it so that Kerbals will not have their helmet on (like on Kerbin's surface) on Laythe?

From TR 1.8 on this can be set in a configuration file. Look `Default.cfg`.

I have excluded every head png file except a file called head4.png. However, generic kerbals still seem to be getting the excluded heads. Have I stuffed up somewhere here?

Are your heads directly in Heads/ or in some subdirectories?

[JPL1980]

I must be a complete idiot. Can someone explain to me exactly how you add a skybox to KSP? I have been searching this thread and the internet in general for days. I've read Green Skull's instructions for his pack... but either I'm not seeing it or I'm just #^$%@$ dumb. I just want to know what do I do with skybox files... where do they go? Do I have to delete files? Please help me.

[shaw]

Copy skybox files (GalaxyTex_NegativeX etc.) to `GameData/TextureReplacer/Default/`.

[JPL1980]

Thank you so much.

From TR 1.8 on this can be set in a configuration file. Look `Default.cfg`.

I meant while on EVA

Seems ATM is the one causing the shadows to work weird.

Just a suggestion, would you be able to set it so that the visor star reflections don't happen if you're on a planet with atmosphere? That's the reason I tend to remove them.

1. You mean normal maps? I think the latest ATM 3-8 has a bug and processes even textures in directories it shouldn't touch. You can solve this by creating a configuration file for ATM where you put all normal maps (look `KSPRC.cfg` from Proot's Renaissance Compilation). The other solution is to remove ATM, install DDSLoader and convert your textures to DDS format. It's works better than ATM.

2. That could be possible, but too much work. The best solution would be make REAL reflections, but a plugin for that already exists so I'm not implementing this. Ask Reflection plugin's authors if they are willing to implement (real) visor reflections. That solution is probably easier than implementing real reflections in TR and also better in terms of performance (only one plugin generating performance-hungry reflections rather than two at the same time).

Technically, ATM 3-8 is designed to work that way. We override the KSP resource loaders, and in the instance of loading textures in directories not managed by configs, we simply load and compress (but no locking of reading).
