Problem With The DDSopt Instructions


Zerocloud411

Question

Hey, so I am on https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:DDSopt_%26_Texture_Overhauls#tab=DDSopt_Optimization under "Repair the Vanilla HRDLC Textures" and I manually extracted all the files by unpacking the .bsas with BSAopt. I got 77,116 files and 2,752 folders. However, after running 1_HRDLC_Clean-START.bat as admin with no errors, I ended up with 76,395 files and 2,735 folders instead of the 76,395 files and 2,721 folders stated in the instructions. 

 

I imagine this would throw off the rest of the instructions, so what do you suggest I do? Thanks.

Ignore the difference. Some empty folders were not being removed by the batch file and a small change was made to the batch file to fix this. It didn't affect any later steps (the empty folders weren't copied) or the final result; what really matters is the number of files after the HRDLC cleanup. We'll upload a new version of the directory tree picture.

Alright thank you. I continued on and got 16 lines in the log file instead of the stated 17 in the instructions (the command line says I should have 16 though). Should I ignore this as well?

 

Also is there any real reason to have the HRLDC seperated into 3 seperate archives at the end considering that they don't have any overlapping files?

Ok, also there are 43,776 files & 1,767 folders in the Vanilla Extracted DLC folders (after repair) and 43,747 files and 1,761 folders in the Vanilla Optimized DLC folders if that matters. STD & HRLDC folders are all equal.

 

EDIT: The numbers are large because I have the non-texture files in both but the file/folder difference is only between textures.

Also I just used the batch file to organize the Space Core mod and this is what I found in the log.txt

Does this just mean that I did something wrong or is this just a way of telling me that this mod has no types of textures other than "Ordinary Textures"?

 

dn11- Just added some spoiler tags to make things look a little neater.

The space core mod comes as a Steam Workshop mod with two files, portal.esp and portal.bsa. What was the structure of the folder you created for it; for example, did you extract the files from the BSA?

 

The 5 textures in the BSA are all ordinary color map textures.

Yes I extracted the .bsa and DDSopt didn't change the file size at all so I left it alone. I was just wondering if errors in the batch file means that something is "wrong" or if it just indicates that said "The system cannot find the file specified." means that there are no files that would relate to that folder.

I'm adding some words to the command line to mention that any level 2 errors (The system cannot find the file specified.) should be ignored. There isn't any straightforward way to suppress these errors indications without losing the ability to get actual errors noted. These "errors" occur when there aren't any files of the type that the robust copy (robocopy) executable is looking for in a particular line. This didn't happen with the vanilla textures since the structure of these textures was known beforehand and there weren't any commands that couldn't find files.

Not related to your problem but, don't see a point in making a thread with my question:

 

Apparently, I'm missing MSVCP110.dll. Didn't see any mention of this anywhere on the forums nor on the guide. Is it normal that I'm missing this file on my PC. Does everyone else has it installed automatically?

DDSopt needs the Visual C++ redistributable. The most recent version (2012) is available from here for 32 bit or 64 bit Windows OS versions. I have MSVCP110.dll in "Windows\SysWOW64" with a modified date of 11/6/2012 . If you don't have this you might try reinstalling the Visual C++ redistributable.
