OLC Clouds FPS Boost v2
« on: September 18, 2013, 04:01:39 AM »
I've found this little mod at aviaskins and it works as advertised so I thought that it would be a good idea to post it here.

Allows for the cloud texture compression, which gives a performance gain over 25%.
This little mod can considerably boost the framerates of those players who use texture compression (texcompress>0 in conf.ini) by enabling texture compression on the clouds. Players using modded clouds and/or typeclouds=1 (in conf.ini) will see the greatest FPS gains, especially in bad weather, but this mod will give some FPS improvement with all other cloud settings as well.

Very useful!

As shown from the original post images there is a gain of FPS without clouds detail losses!!!

Very good spotting mate!!!

A few questions, I have.

-What kind of compression does this enable? Greyscale+Alpha instead of RGBA?
-Does this have any effect if one doesn't use texture compression in the first place (TexCompress=0)?

EDIT: Nevermind, followed the link to the discussion thread and turns out this only affects players who have TexCompress?0...

I had hopes that this would make it possible to maximize memory use by using Greyscale+Alpha TGA textures instead of RGBA, but alas that was not the case...
