In Response To: Re: Opinion Poll: File Size vs Loading Time? (Forrest of B.org)

: Ah. Maybe that's what happened... I saw that the landscaped were horribly
: grainy and figured it was using the lores versions from the Shapes file
: (i.e. not loading the DDS hires textures). But maybe DXTC DDS files are
: just too compressed for use in landscapes... though that makes me wonder
: how poorly it'll make the geometry textures look.

Of all the textures I compressed with nvidia's tool (the ones on http://lhowon.org, have you tried them?), I've only seen two that I'm not happy with the quality. Landscapes are a different story, it's hard to get those to look right with any compression.

: Coolness, thanks. :-)

Level load time is about 7 seconds on my MacBook Pro, hehe. What would be a good set of textures to convert so you can see the quality and load time differences?

I see what you mean about the intro screen timing, that's fixed now :)
