As of version 2.3 it will also optionally convert subfolders in the input folder, creating corresponding subfolders in the output folder if necessary.Texture output options:. Choice of which conversion to do and the target texture dimensions should be self-explanatory.
Keep original size - when converting to HQ, you can choose to keep any textures that are larger than needed as is. Sharpen rle2 textures - using this option will sharpen the main (diffuse) textures of clothing, hair, accessories, skins, etc. You can choose the sharpening strength. Sharpening will slow down processing significantly. Strength of sharpening makes no difference in speed.
Don't sharpen grayscale - starting in version 2.2 the tool uses the CASP in CC packages to identify the shadow textures, so this option should normally be left unchecked. It may be useful if converting packages that contain clothing/hair/accessory textures but no CASPs as when converting EA game packages. If checked, the tool will attempt to identify shadow textures and not sharpen them.
The benefit is that sharpening may cause banding in some shadows which might be visible. The drawback is that any black and white or gray clothing and skin details may not be sharpened.
Use existing mipmaps - starting in version 2.2, if this option is checked the tool will keep existing mipmaps if possible. Leaving this option checked will be slightly faster and retain the quality of original textures in the mipmaps.
In cases where sharpening has made a big improvement in a texture you may want to try unchecking it and generating new mipmaps.With sharpening enabled, conversion will be slow. A package of 1000 rle2 textures could take around 2 hours or more. Without sharpening it's significantly faster. The program will prevent your computer from sleeping during conversion, but your monitor will still time out and sleep and you may see the monitor blacking out for a couple of seconds at a time even while you're using it.Sharpening comparison:Notes/Warnings:The tool should only be run on packages that include only CAS parts (clothing, hair, accessories, makeup, skins, etc.). Running it on packages containing other CC might possibly result in textures of the wrong size.This should go without saying, but you should keep your original packages in case something goes wrong.Please report problems, questions, and reasonable requests in the comments.Windows only, sorry.
