Not important.
Just noting to myself that this is my first ever compressed mod.

Originally posted by Táiga Rivers:
High-res textures are usually fine. What really helps to avoid crashes is dividing the high-poly model (mostly the w_models, but the v_models are better to be optimised, too) into several SMDs instead of just one. I did that to all the models I am using, but kept the original 2K textures, and I am playing custom campaigns without issues.
A good example: an HQ G3 that previously was making my game crash when someone with that weapon gets killed by the Witch or pounced by the Hunter. After the model got divided into several parts, no more crashes.
The only problem with that is not all weapon mods are that easy to optimise: broken animations/meshes after re-compiling are not a rare occasion.
Low-end PC owners probably still can crash while playing with weapon mods with high-res textures. A friend of mine was playing on a potato PC, and they had to remove all the high-res mods because the game was quite unstable. Sometimes.
But in general, reducing the texture resolution does not necessarily help against crashes if the model has a hell ton of vertices and is not divided into several parts.

@Táiga Rivers
Besides the high-poly models, the RNG animations are unnecessary to add. It's pretty useless when online...

Dw it's alright

That would mean hexing the weapon, which, unfortunately, is not an easy thing to do and I don't know how to, because it also involving changing anim or something, so sorry, I'm not the right person to do your suggestion

Suggestion: This but for SG

Alrighty, man, thanks for the info, I appreciate it, and I learned and made compressed weapon because I do have potato laptop, so that's why. I'll keep this info in mind.

Huh... So compressing textures still can't help with crashing problem. I guess it makes sense now after what you said, and I'm also not a nerd for these kind of thing. Thanks for telling me this, and, should I put "chance of crashing should be low" on my next mod for the preview?

Not saying that your way of optimising the weapon mods is useless, though. Potato PC owners will certainly appreciate the texture-compressed weapons :steamthumbsup:
