📋 About This Mod
An asset library of primarily visual assets - textures, meshes, shaders. Primarily in use for my own Mods, but open to use for others as well!
This is an Asset Library. It does nothing on it's own.
If you were not directed to download it by another Mod, there is no point in doing so.
This library contains assets - shaders, textures, meshes, icons, and whatever else - that I utilize in more than one Mod.
They are implemented this way so they don’t need to be included in every single Mod that uses them, which saves space, and
is overall a better way to do things for both performance reasons (for the user) and upkeep reasons (for both users and me).
Other Mod authors can reference these assets! Please use them if you’d find them useful.
If another Mod requires the Arstral Archive, you can install it like any other Mod.
There is no point in installing it if it isn’t a requirement. It will do nothing on it’s own.
Please make sure the Archive is loaded above any Mod requiring it.
Otherwise, load order isn’t important for this Mod.
Currently, the archive only includes shaders.
More assets will be added to the archive as needed, and the page will be updated accordingly.
