[EDIT] Made a simple test cube 2048 x 2048 x 2048 and a texture with the same size.
As PCX 8 bits I got 42fps. As BMP 24 bits I got 42fps too. In both cases s3tc was on, if I turn s3tc off the texture is downsampled to 256 x 256 and I get 84fps.

It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.
If you experience any problems there is also the usual "password forgotten" function. Don't forget to clear your browser cache!

Re: I didn't know this tool
I did read that readme, i dont understand why he didnt make it possible to add DXT textures to a package.
There are more tools that can extract textures from utx files (and .u) but i dont think they can extract the Alpha channel correct, though i never tried it. The weird thing is, not even Photoshop is able to show the Alpha channel in a dds file

I didn't know that shared palletes greatly speed up rendering, specially in cards that have poor caches.
I finished creating a UTX package containing over 4k textures. I didn't mess with palletes, so UED2 has inserted one pallete per texture in the UTX, meaning that the package itself has over 8k name entries in it.
I just noticed that shared palleted, indeed, does have a insanely huge impact on performance on a MX440. Since that UTX doesn't take advantage of any shared palletes the maps runs A LOT slower if you use it. Maybe that explains why a MX440 runs maps so much faster with full color textures. However, I won't take time to edit the palletes because players that play maps that use that s3tc package should always turn s3tc on.
