Compatibility mod between Stock Part Revamp and LLL's SXT

[Stealthyboy]

Title says it all really, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to be able to use Lack's Stock Extended (SXT) with the wonderful Stock Part Revamp by Ven. Unfortunately, trying to do so leads to texture issues, due to SXT referencing stock part textures, which Stock Part Revamp replaces in such a way as to make doing so impossible. I was hoping some talented modder could take a look at what could be done, and hopefully make a compatibility mod between the two of them.

there is already a fix in place

just open the spoiler for SXT

No, there is a fix for 0.25 but not one for Stock Part Revamp

You're misunderstanding me. As Sarbian says, the fix you are pointing out is for SXT to work in 0.25. I'm asking for a patch to make SXT and Stock Part Revamp play nice together, as Stock Part Revamp causes SXT to not function correctly due to how SXT gets its textures by referencing stock parts.

[Lack]

Here's a list of the textures SXT uses: http://pastebin.com/ggRS1zfk

I've done the time-consuming part and moved those textures to a new folder (SquadBckTex)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39086055/SXTTextures.zip

I'm sure some MM-whiz can fix something up that'll swap ', Squad/' and ', NASAmission/' to ', SquadBckTex/'

Theoretically that should work then work (just with the extra RAM load 70 or so textures brings).

Haven't had the chance to check this out myself, but it might be worthwhile cross referencing Lack's textures to this list of duplicate stock texture I put together. Squad isn't exactly efficient with texture reuse -- there's 154 MB of duplicate textures in a stock install.

Just because a filename is the same, doesn't mean the file is identical. Are they byte-identical files, or just named the same?

Byte-for-byte. It's kinda scary how much cruft is in GameData, even on newer stuff like the NASA parts. Also last time I looked at this stuff there were completely unused textures in a couple places.

[NathanKell]

Ah, yeah! You did one of the dedupers for Internals, yeah?

That needs to be part of any unofficial patch, I think.

Lack: I am unsurprised that the only engine models whose textures you use are the sane ones.

I'll see if I can do up a regex-based MM patch to handle all that.

[somnambulist]

@nathankell -- yep that was me. I gave up on the effort after running into cases where the game would freeze when trying to replace certain model's textures with model nodes. Thinking back I may have been trying to replace the texture with a reference that didn't yet exist in the database which, obviously, would cause some problems. I'll look into it later tonight or over the weekend. At the very least I should log the duplicates as a bug.

That indeed breaks things, so you want to put all the shared stuff in an earlier-loading folder (and why SXT is alphabetically after Squad).

I've run through the NASAMission parts and it's working flawlessly so far. Assuming no major issues, I should have a streamlined stock ready for release sometime this weekend. After that it's compatibility with Ven's revamp and SXT.

[NathanKell]

I now have a working MM config for Ven <-> SXT.

In particular, I have a generator for it (via xls), so as Ven's mod adds more replaces, I can tick off more textures.

I based this off what Lack posted (thanks Lack). Note that instead of the folders as Lack uploaded them, I created a 0RevampBak folder in GameData and then entirely replicate the original paths (i.e NASAMission/Parts/Size2LFB rather than Lack's zip where it's just Parts/Size2LFB). Also, I do not include any unrevamped textures (but they are zipped in case of later use).

Here's the whole package. Stuff in GameData goes in GameData; the xls is if you want to see how I did it.

somnambulist, I am waiting with baited breath. That sounds great, and should definitely go in 0.90.

I'm pretty optimistic. NASAMission/ went from 68.2 MB on disk down to 47.3 MB -- that results in an in-game memory savings of about 70 MBs. If that ratio holds we could see a 450-500 MB memory savings!

[Lack]

I've got a list of part names as well, as a few of them aren't prefixed with SXT (bit careless that, but bit reluctant to brake people's saves now). The non- SXT* ones are at the top.

[NathanKell]

Hah, whoops, I spot-checked a bunch but I didn't do a full search. I'll update the patch to go by your list.

Actually, I have a better idea: I change Ven's parts that reference stock textures (via MODEL) to have a special tag, and apply the patch to everything else, SXT or no.

[NathanKell]

Fixed. Same link as before.
