General custom S3TC texture installation hint

[Hyper]

I have a tip for all users who want to install custom S3TC texture packs from the ReTexturing project: Make a new folder for them:

Open your unreal folder and make a new folder called 'S3TCTextures' (Or something like that. name does not matter, but I can recommend to let it end with 'textures'.)

Now change your Unreal.ini:

Under [Core.System], look for Paths=..\Textures\*.utx

Now, add a new line ABOVE this line:

Paths=..\S3TCTextures\*.utx

It will now look like:

Code: Select all

[...]
Paths=..\S3TCTextures\*.utx
Paths=..\Textures\*.utx
[...]

It's important to put the S3TCTextures line first so Unreal will use the S3TC version of the texture where possible.

When you have problems with one of the S3TC textures, you can easily rename it to .old to disable it and Unreal will automatically use the old version in the Textures folder.

Ps. This might be a nice tip for Unreal Reference. You have my permission to add it anyways.
