ResLodRemover & MipMapRemover

T_D · 09-10-2009, 08:04 PM

Some people wanted to have these tools, which were created for kju's PROPER vegetation pack and so I release them now to public.

- ResLodRemover:
This tool can delete resolution LODs from binarized p3d (ODOL) files.

ResLodRemover Download @ DevHeaven
ResLodRemover @ armaholic

- MipMapRemover:
This tool can delete single Mipmaps from paa files.

MipMapRemover Download @ DevHeaven
MipMapRemover @ armaholic

Both tools need .NET Framework 3.5.

Bugs, wishes, ideas etc. can be posted via ticket here: http://dev-heaven.net/projects/tdt/issues

This is great however, I've been trying to remove all the LODs except the most detailed one. Used the ResLODRemover.exe on de-pbo'd plants2_Tree p3d files only to find that I'm getting errors when I put the file back up to pbo.

Even though the file is there I'm getting t_betula2s.p3d not found. Is the problem that I haven't used the mipmap remover as well ?

Any help? Or even better anyone been able to convert all these trees etc to only having the most detailed LOD ?

No you dont need the MipMapRemover. The error doesn't look like the p3d is corrupt but simply not found. But not completely sure what the cause is.

Why would I want to delete resolution lods or mipmaps? (the problem with many addons was that they had bad ones, or none at all, so why remove things that help performance

)

Mipmap removal could be helpful with airplane cockpits, so that players with low settings could navigate solely by airplane instruments. It's at least something I wanted in arma2 from start.

@John: The tools were used for PROPER vegetation pack for example. On this site the benefits are described.
