Nehrim Landscape LOD Textures by Xerus

Nehrim Landscape LOD Textures by Xerus Version 1. 0 Modification and Bugfix for the Oblivion Total Conversion \"Nehrim - At Fate\'s Edge\" What does this mod do? This mod replaces the default LOD textures of the distant landscapes in Nehrim with better quality textures and also adds some missing textures. All LOD textures will be replaced, so all color maps, all normal maps as well as the texture for the terrain noise effect. You have the choice between the standard resolution (1024 x 1024) or the higher resolution (2048 x 2048). LOD textures that are based on \"Qarl\'s Texture Pack 3\" are also included in this mod pack. What exactly will be replaced by what? Color Maps: Standard 1024 x 1024 DXT1 (682 KB) -> New 1024 x 1024 DXT1 (682 KB) or 2048 x 2048 DXT1 (2. 66 MB) Normal Maps: Standard 1024 x 1024 32 Bit (4. 00 MB) -> New 512 x 512 24 Bit (768 KB) or 1024 x 1024 24 Bit (3. 00 MB) Terrain Noise: Standard 512 x 512 DXT1 (170 KB) -> New 512 x 512 DXT1 (170 KB) The textures \"2057. 00.-64. 32.dds\" and \"2057. 00. 32. 32.dds\" are scaled down to 512 x 512, because they are completely under water. Why are these textures better? The default textures were created with the Construction Set by using the \"Generate LOD Land Texture\" function. But this kind of LOD texture generation does not work entirely bug-free and provides only lower quality textures. The textures of this mod were created by a completely different and more complex method. Thus, LOD textures with very high quality were generated on which all objects, e.g. stone blocks and buildings are visible. Why this mod is also a bugfix? With all due respect to the makers, but in Nehrim some normal maps for the distant landscapes are simply missing. The negative effect of this is mainly noticeable in the region of Treomar. Look at the attached images and you will know what is meant. This mod adds the missing normal maps. How to install? 1. Make your decision for the resolution 1024 x 1024 or 2048 x 2048 in the folder \"Color Maps\" and copy the contained folder \"Textures\" to your \"...\\Nehrim\\Data\" directory. I recommend the resolution 2048 x 2048, because it offers better quality without significant performance loss. The resolution 1024 x 1024 I only recommend for a weaker computer. If you have installed \"Qarl\'s Texture Pack 3\", so here you should select the appropriate textures. 2. Make your decision for the resolution 512 x 512 or 1024 x 1024 in the folder \"Normal Maps\" and copy the contained folder \"Textures\" to your \"...\\Nehrim\\Data\" directory. I generally recommend the reduced resolution 512 x 512 for better performance, because there is no noticeable difference to 1024 x 1024 in the game. Look at the attached comparison image, c
