I will say this i absolutly hate the texture file size-- down sizing feature in game exe...makes a copy of same texture same res but smaller file size by changing the dxt format on it...i think it take it and converts everything to dxt3 which is smaller compressionin size than dxt5 which is best quality and what i always use for dds...
@Mexican_420 you were talking about this one night and u are correct it does change the texture and alter the channels in it like the alpha channel....its also bugged to hell as well if mod has to manny textures game wont copy all correctly and do single byte solid color texture
Know for you Mexican_420 and anyone else wants to get around this but be warned...its a pain in the butt period
Simply take all tetxures of mod put into folder,make refernce to texturecache folder in app data and see if trucks_ is at beginning of textures if not then your good...once game makes all texture copies to app data exit game go in to app data and add all the original texture over writing all ....know back out right click on texturecache folder go to properties
Make sure you do this after you have all mods installed first !!!!
select read only check box
Select advanced tab bottom right...at bottom you see two check boxes for compressing and encrypting folder...
select encrypt contents to secure data....
Know itl do its thing after you hit apply and texturecache folde riwll turn green and all files in it...
This will prevent exe under most circumstances to not recopy the textures again...
There ya go work around for stupid texture reduction feature and how i play
