Mindzai Wrote:"Compressed" textures is not really an accurate description. The textures.xbt file is actually considerably larger than the sum of the source image files. It does not "compress" the images so much as convert them to a format which is readily usable by the GPU and then package them into a single file. It is my understanding that using packaged textures should actually be faster because of this, though apparently this is not the case...
i dunno, since using the new update with textures.xbt rather than the 'uncompressed' folder, its much faster. I like access to the textures.xbt to make my own customisations but i can live without it if it means its going to be faster
