[1.12.X] KSP Upscaled - Squad Expansion goes in pair with this mod
[1.12.X] KSP Upscaled - Core is recommended with this mod
Process:
- Used XNView MP to first convert the DDS to PNG;
- Took Upscayl, with custom model 4X_NMKD-SIAK_200k, 4x scale to all of Squad's folders, recursively.
- Retook XNView MP to re-convert to DDS
- Created RAW folder for textures
- Used XNView MP to compress the DDS textures to 3 different settings:
Low: 2048x2048 Textures
Medium: 4196x4196 Textures
High: 8192x8192 Textures - I kept all the PNG, enhanced them and kept the original file structure along the process.
Installation instructions:
(Please note that you need the base game, as the packages do not include any of the configs or models, it is only textures)
- Download the settings you want in the release section;
Low: 2k Textures maximum
Medium: 4k Textures maximum
High: 8k Textures maximum - Extract to the GameData folder;
- Overwrite all when prompted;
- Play
PLEASE NOTE:
Be careful of what mods you are using with this package, as it is VERY demanding on hardware. I personnaly use the low settings because I use Link's Parallax v2.0 and Blackrack Volumetrics Clouds from their patreon, plus KSC Extended, KSC Harbor & KSC Enhanced that utilize stock assets, which decrease overall FPS in KSC area.
I recommend testing with: Show FPS & MemGraph. You will have a good idea of the performance hit you get with the textures.
Have fun !
