Part of the revamping the shields business I am currently bogged down in. I am trying to clear out some 50 texture files that are slowing down loading time. I've managed to put all shields on six pages.
I had to choose between restoring the old pavesis or creating new ones from scratch. I went with the latter. Took some work, straps don't work (bleh...) but the shape of the new ones are closer to the communal militia shields we see in depictions of the time.
Wondering if it's a bit too big though....
(Sorry for not getting back to you yet about the new towns. With the shield overhaul, mod is still in a dismantled state. Pic above is from native).

How do texture sheets work? Can you put an unlimited amount on a single sheet, or are there size constraints?
Once you've finished, can you give us a sample picture of what one of the shield dds files looks like?
The town thing is no biggy. It just gives me more time to finish bologna.

There are size constraints. Previously it was 1 to 3 shields per page, but now with remapping, I can fit around 14 shields on one page. 130. 130 textures I managed to reduce to 20. That should really reduce loading time. I'm proud of myself.  If I could figure out a way to remap the armors I could probably wipe out another 80 textures. But this is much harder, since they have to be "re-rigged", which I've tried but haven't figured out how to. When you get the new mod, you can see the pages. |

Reducing loading times is definately great news. Even with config downgraded, it still takes a while to load.
And the shield is great.. maybe too big? what about 80%?

Very! Will is be possible to use a shield while firing a crossbow?  (e.g. pavise)  Wrong time period, I know, but same idea... |
