Hvergelmer Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Is it allowed so upload the extracted textures to make it easy for everybody? No. A user on Hvergelmir's Armor Retexture facebook group submitted this other solution: You can also use texture packs with the official HD pack like this:To do it deactivate both HighResTexturePack01.esp and HighResTexturePack02.esp and modify your skyrim.ini like this: [Archive]sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, HighResTexturePack01.bsa, HighResTexturePack02.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsasResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa This is by far the most simple and user friendly way to do it... EDIT: Or even better, use the "load loose files" function in the preferences. Without being able to confirm this as I speak, it should work if you just leave the .bsa files unchecked. According to Vurt this should work as unchecked .bsa archives always are loaded FIRST. And I'm sure it does considering how Update.bsa is unchecked but used...

QuickFox Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 IVIason, that seems like a bad idea; All concerns for piracy aside, its several GBs of data that would be a big burden to the Nexus servers. There's a program called FallOut Mod Manager (FOMM) that will let you unpack the BSA files easily. If you dont have the HD texture packs yet, Im sure they'll show up on *not allowed* or other torrent sites soon; not that I advocate piracy in this instance, just saying that its preferable to distribute it via peer-to-peer rather than needing to pull it off of a site like this which would negatively affect everyone else using it.

QuickFox Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Confirmed, That method works Ithot; I note that it must be done to the "data\skyrim.ini", not the one in "documents\my games\skyrim\" The load loose files option got taken out in the 1.4 patch, afaik.

nosisab Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, great idea placing textures/meshes under control of ESPs... For now, I just disable the ESPs, not tested enough the consequences tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvergelmer Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I saw the function as late as today, but I can't confirm this as I'm currently downloading the HD pack and can't play while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickFox Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yep, 'load loose files' is definitely not there for me, havent seen it since the 1.4 patch fixed the 'data files' part of the launcher so that it now lists files in a single column, and not scattered all over the place if you had 30+ mods like me.

nosisab Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Yes, Whatever the differences are so minimal than if the whole BSAs are being disabled it is just not worth downloading but the havoc the ESPs do to body textures is unbearable. Anyway I'm sure someone will find the better way to "fix" that marvelous idea of BSA Esp controlled and them I may reactivate them.
