Major graphical error

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Look, this is probably the third or fourth time I've brought this issue up on TWC. All suggestions have been met with no success.

I've heard Anti-aliasing may fix this, but my computer will not allow it. So maybe resolution?

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

WOW! I've never seen anything like this. Graphic card maybe?

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

It's only this mod and 58BC: Caesar Imperator. Lol.

have you tried reinstalling it?

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Several times. I've tried most everything. This is a recurring problem with any and all IB mods.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Can you detail your graphics card?

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

At the risk of seeming stupid, could you direct me as to where I could find info on it?

[Gäiten]

It the size of the graphic card`s memory. If you do not have so much RAM, the engine automatically reduces the Level of Detail.

Maybe if too many units will be in the battle, you might get an error.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Yeah, the error only happens when I have a fullstack vs. a fullstack.

But, again, it's only on this mod. No others. (cept for 58BC)

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Look, guys, I really need this fixed. Please try to help me.

The problem may be that alot of the texture files for IBRR are large. If the files are haled in size, this is done by reducing the image by 50% it drastically reduces the file size and may make a difference for you. It is slow and tedious but may be worth it in the long run. You need to go into the models_unit/texture folder to find the texture.dds files.

Hope this helps.

Please post details on your graphics card - I run Vista so I am only familiar with how to locate it under that OS: click on the desktop and that will bring up a menu. In that menu should be your graphics card menu; click on it and it will present you with a number of options which will allow you to tweak the graphics card. Find system information, or something similar, and that will tell you what your card is - you need the size - mine's 512mb. You need something around 128mb to run the RTW series comfortably on 'Large' settings. Hope that helps!

solution for you Mr. Cursed is purchase of new graphic card. invest a few bucks and your game will look much better. i'm suspicious of your current graphic card, i think it is cursed.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Ehm, I have to take issue with you there. I play on Huge, friends, on most all mods I play, with no loss in performance. It is in IB and 58BC ONLY that this error occurs. Since all other mods have no problems with my game, there seems to be an issue with this mod only.

Julianus, I guess I'll try that...how do you halve the sizes?

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Right, I'm going to go ahead and bump this. I want it fixed.

Julianus, care to elaborate on how to do this?

I think he means the skin files. Some of them may be 512 by 512 and even larger in order for the skinner to add more detail, and you might need to scale the image down to 256 by 256. Note that it can go smaller than 256 by 256.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

I've never done this sort of thing before. How do you do that?

[Legio]

First, you go into your IBFD or whatever mod it is folder.
Then you go to DATA/models_unit/textures
You will see a bunch of dds files.
Download an image viewer/editor such as Irfanview.
Open one of the dds files, this is called a skin.
Scale the image from whatever it is to 256 by 256; if it already is at 256 by 256 then the whole problem is your graphics card.
And always remember to back up files when modding!

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Alright. I'll attempt that. Thank you.
