Low RAM usage visual mod.

[SmashBrown]

Hey i have been using astronomers visual pack but i am unable to get it running with my list of mods, is there a low ram usage equivalent? Which would give me a similar visual effect but with less impact on RAM

DDSLoader, then convert the textures to .dds, and resize as needed to a level which lets things run. Resizing will decrease visual quality, but it may not be noticeable.

I don't think i will know how to use that.

It's a time-consuming process. Every texture image has to be converted one by one and saved. Be prepared to spend all night doing it. Active Texture Management does it automatically and might be a good option, but I haven't tried it with Astronomer's yet to say if it works.

It's sad but I avoided astronomers pack exactly for this reason. I rather have more features than breath taking graphics. You could run in OpenGl but this will disable anti aliasing and reduce overal processing speed which becomes noticable with high part count.

Yup i have had to avoid astronomers for now, it looks amazing, but i can't have anywhere near the amount of mods i want if i run it.

I don't have the resources to run Astronomer's latest pack either, so I'm still running his previous edge of oblivion pack, still available on the same page as his latest pack and working fine with 0.90.

Also active texture managment is essential, I use the x86 basic version.

It takes ages to run the first time but it's worth it.
