Hi there,
is it possible for texture streaming to be added in gzdoom?
the reason for the request is to optimize the gpu memory usage while running around using lots of HD textures well above 2048 x 2048 in resolution.
this is a issue we are facing as we are trying to bake lighting to a level and we end up with lots of textures with huge texture sizes and to pre cache all of those textures...
The gpu memory is limiting us with how big the level can be and how much detail we can add to the areas in the maps.
what we would like to do is make low resolution versions of the baked textures which can be stored in our wads / pk3 files as the base textures, these are used when applying textures to the map in gzdoom builder
and are pre cached when the level loads up with the gzdoom feature.
we can then have a separate pk3 file which is used as a HD texture pack for the level, ( original baked textures )
this is used to stream the HD textures from when needed, using the same folder as or similar to the " Hires folder ".
cheers
