Readme File: Terrain Pack- Rocks Add-on Pack (Fallout 3) Version 1. 1 (Added Compression) By NeilMc ______________________________________________________________ Description: Replaces landscape rock textures and bumpmaps for FALLOUT 3. These new rocks are designed to fit in with my existing Terrain Pack Mod and it is recommended you use them together, found here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=774 The default rock textures and bumpmaps have a resolution of 2048 x 2048 pixels. These textures have all been replaced with real-world photograph- based equivalent textures, and you can choose 3 different resolutions to suit your PC or individual taste. 8192x8192 pixels (400% larger, Most detailed) 4096x4096 pixels (200% larger, Detailed) * 2048x2048 pixels (same resolution as original textures, see screenshots) ______________________________________________________________ Notes: The higher resolution packs may cause increased VRAM usage, and therefore increased page-file swapping/ hard drive \'texture thrashing\' and (due to increased memory usage) may cause some in-game stuttering/ lag or slow-downs. This will depend on your PC, CPU, RAM and graphics card. (None of this will harm your PC, just make it sweat a bit!). Please read and consider the next part; Memory usage values for each Pack: Default= 8mb New, Default Size= 8mb 4096x4096= 32mb 8192x8192= 128mb The highest resolution packs are recommended for Cutting-edge Gamers Pc\'s. I have what I consider a mid range gamers pc, an Intel quad Q6600 processor (overclocked to 3. 3GHz), 2Gb pc6400 dual channel RAM, and an ATI HD3870 graphics card, overclocked to 850, 1250. I struggle with the 8192x8192 pack, so instead use the 4096 pack. ______________________________________________________________ Installation: Unpack the 7zip file once downloaded (using Winrar, 7zip or an equivalent) and you will see 2 new files. Place the 7zip file in your Fallout\\Data\\Textures\\landscape folder (or create that file path) and unzip it (overwriting the existing files, if any). The other file (ArchiveInvalidation .txt) contains the strings to enable the preferential use of these textures over the default ones. Simply add the text into your own archive invalidation file, found in your Fallout 3 folder, or simply place the file there if it does not already exist. FIRST MOD? Replace the following line in your Fallout.ini file: Navigate to \"My Documents\", then\"My Games\" then \"Fallout3\" folder. Open the \"Fallout.ini\" (with notepad program) press ctrl+f and search for : \"bInvalidateOlderFiles=0\", change the \"0\" to \"1\" and save.
