Tips: Using EMPIRE OPTIMIZE WITH Darth mod

[SirAndrean]

ok, i manage to make EO Light work with DUMC.. For those who have the same problem with me, vanilla unit skin and BSM 4.1 not working properly, you need to do this:

1. Download the mod http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=281226 (EO Light) also download GlossKZ.pack and normalKZ.pack
2. Install to empire/data
3. Delete all pack file of (nation)16.pack.. (ex: sweden16.pack, east16.pack,etc)
4. remove the conflicting files from EffectKZ.pack and Pshader2KZ.pack with Pack file manager tool ( http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=234546 ) IMPORTANT! you should not remove any files from patch2 and patch4!
5. You are good to go!

the conflicting files





Hope it's help!

Note: I do not use Fraps or other FPS counter program.. so i do not know how much this tweaks help to improve your computer performance.. So, feel free to try and be kind to give some feedback!

excellent work DeUs_VulT + rep to you, I'm sure a number of users once they try will be singing your praises as well

[SirAndrean]

Thanks hammeredalways! I hope this tip helps.. it's come from my frustration anyway..

Oh yeah, keep in mind.. this tweaks remove 24 bit texture feature from EO mod.. so do not expect to see pretty handsome units in like original EO do..

I have been looking into packaging a DMUC friendly version of EO, (no release data at this time, if at all)

this will help

Really??? Looking forward to it!

Well, if this is the only clash between the two-great!!! After all, DMUC needs something like this for the battles. There are probably more clashes though-just not fatal ones. I suggest you keep your eye out for those-and it is a pity about the textures, but never mind about that too much.
Well done for getting it working! +rep

Edit-Sticky This?

[♔hammeredalways♔]

Hi Tango - I though I would give a little longer in the open and then move to sticky

[Tango12345]

Fair 'nuff

[hip63]

to clarify, it would be a seperate download, an optional sub-mod/add-on, it will not be incorperated into the main mod.

Have you guys try it? i think it's good to test and confirm it before make it sticky..

Good! You try and you will be

I used to get CTD with this amount of troops in one battle..

Uff I "over saw that thread - how could I!!!
Thank you for that wonderful tip - +Rep for this -
Will try and have a look what it is in regards of frames - as I do need a few - playing on 2560/1600 resolution it sometimes - drops below 20 so definitely a try worth!
Hear you....

[SirAndrean]

You are welcome
Yeah, i really want to know how much FPS does this tweaks give us.. but so far i do not experience a single CTD during battle.. just CTD at loading battle map and end turn.. so this must be "something"..

So I've been looking into playing DMUC with EO, and we can confirm this works?
My specs aren't great, playing on a 8500 GT on Windows XP, but as of now I can play battles on low
fine, but would like to play on medium or high and I think EO should do this

Like I said here are my specs

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce 8500 DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Display Memory: 512.0 MB
Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor: HP f1905 flat panel monitor
