Dynamic Texture Loader 1.1-1

Choose a tag to compare

@rbray89 rbray89 released this 19 Apr 22:05

Created a new mod to save graphics memory!
Without sacrificing parts or texture quality, this mod unloads and loads textures on the fly! Increase texture resolution to max again!

Fixes for certain IVA issues and non DXT normal maps.

On DirectX 9 with tons of parts, the system memory went from 3205MB down to 2520MB!

DX11 and OpenGL use graphics memory first, and system memory for spillover, so if you use these graphics platforms, this will not likely show anything on system memory unless you use LOTS of part mods with big textures, or have small available graphics memory.

Side effects include:

increased loading times at start
Slight lag when adding new parts when building craft
Increased loading times when launching new crafts
VAB/SPH low res "icons". 
Adding many more mods and/or maxing texture resolution

This is done in my spare time, and any contribution helps!

@rbray89 rbray89 released this 07 Jan 02:44

Created a new mod to save graphics memory!
Without sacrificing parts or texture quality, this mod unloads and loads textures on the fly! Increase texture resolution to max again!

Now caches regular sized textures for quick reload, and handles IVA textures correctly.
Attempted compatibility with ATM (doesn't use it). Fixed issue with Asteroids and NRE.
Sets loading settings to KSP defaults to mimic stock loader.
RemoteTech icon fix.
Fix for flags and tga files.
No longer load duplicate textures. Duplicates are re-used from already loaded duplicates in memory.
Fix for Multi-Model nodes.

Now caches regular sized textures for quick reload. Also uses hash set to stop textures from being duplicated. Also loads/unloads IVA textures now.

Still working on fix for duplicated textures.
