Any plans on updating?
Someguy1220 Jul 9, 2023 @ 10:49pm 
probably a dumb question but is this achievement compatible?

Updated: Changes:
No longer modifies Portrait, Planet _Diffuse, and Ship _Diffuse.

This changes makes portraits no longer blurry and small.
Makes planet and ships uses their default texture but with blurry details as the normal and specular has been modified. Will still give an fps boost as normals are the ones much heavier.

All performance mod will be updated within the week.
Rogueone Jan 5, 2023 @ 1:37pm 
Update?
دانيال أيفان مولا Sep 20, 2022 @ 8:36pm 
does this decrese the quality?

revengeclaw: All mods are ironman compatible. the question you need to ask is if it's "Achievement compatible".

This DDS tweak should be as it only contains dds (Texture files) and no other else. For the SPM, i do not know, while it only contains files on gfx/particles, it modifies, .asset file (text base code file), it might work with achievements if the game dev decided to make the whole edits on gfx folder an exception to the modified checklist.
For the Galaxy tweak, that one im sure is not achievement compatible as that mod contains edit to the common/defines. as i know, any mod that touches the common folder and any text base code on it will incompatible with achievements.

I love your mods and use them whenever i get closer to the mid/end game, but most of my runs are modded. Now i'm doing a run for achievements and was wondering if any of your performance mods are ironman compatible.

Updated. Tested out twice, no longer getting that bug but the main menu background i got is the one from the latest dlc. (SO i can really confirm if its fully fix for the federation main menu and apoc)

If any other bug exist, pls tell me.
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] May 17, 2022 @ 3:45am 
justachild8: A little compared to the potato ed but noticable.

@Everyone: Small minor bug: Main menu texture corruption glitch as well as arrows pointer when plaing ingame. Will patch it up later. Folder affected are as follows: system_map and UI
justachild8 May 16, 2022 @ 9:08pm 
How much visual impact does this mod have? Does it compromise visual quality?
Rogueone May 15, 2022 @ 9:44am 
Thanks
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] May 15, 2022 @ 9:23am 
Will be on the following days. :steamthumbsup:
Rogueone May 15, 2022 @ 8:36am 
Pls update the main mod
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] May 14, 2022 @ 1:11am 
Updated.

Update?
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Mar 16, 2022 @ 11:40am 
@Henk: Photoshop CS6 with Nvidia dds plugin is what i used to manually convert normals and spec then for diffuse, tools like the same used at fallout/skyrim. Also this mod still work, it just wont cover the latest dlc as i dont own it. But as per file checking, i think its already in there, i just need to do them on a later date.
henk Mar 16, 2022 @ 8:16am 
What tool did you use to compress the files? In theory we could do it ourselfs
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Feb 9, 2022 @ 9:49am 
Should work with any version number, Only difference is that it wont cover new arts or dlc. (As currently, im too broke to buy aquatic dlc.

I havent switch to beta so I dont know if they'll more arts (But most likely they'll do) but I've already started making a new patch for any performance mod I have. I might switch to beta later on to to catch up on future stellaris versions.
Rogueone Sep 20, 2021 @ 5:17pm 
Update for 3.1?
AnimeshkaTvar Jul 6, 2021 @ 5:28am 
Ironman compatable, like with just performance mod. But "Galaxy Dust Tweak" I dont tested
Bojangles May 27, 2021 @ 1:49am 
is this mod (and your other performance mods) ironman compatable?
Bonberjean May 24, 2021 @ 3:37am 
Will I be able to play multiplayer with those mods ON (this mod and the "required items")
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] May 11, 2021 @ 10:57pm 
Updated for 3.0.* Should "partially" cover Nemisis DLC

(Alot of Nemisis Texture files are already ingame even tho I dont own the DLC, I do believe that it's the full files already but I still added the word "partially" incase I missed something and for a later date, I need to update it again)
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] May 5, 2021 @ 9:04am 
@everyone: to the people expecting an update for this, it's currently on hold for a few days, I don't own Nemisis dlc but when I checked the files ingame, it seems that Nemisis texture files are already inside, for the reason why I'm not updating it now is because I'm switching gear/pc and currently in the process of backuping files. I'll resume mod uploads and update this coming Sunday. Sorry for the delays. But yeah, like my comment below, this will work but will currently not cover certain 3.0 texture files like from Nemisis dlc.
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] May 2, 2021 @ 9:04pm 
@everyone: This will work regardless of stellaris version number. The only thing that it will not cover is the newly added textures from the new dlc.
JC12231 May 2, 2021 @ 11:27am 
@Hero Tales It appears to work with 3.0.

At the very least, i'm not crashing or getting infinite windows. Can't confirm if it still has an effect or not.
Hero Tales Apr 22, 2021 @ 9:18am 
Does this work with 3.0?
dRuPpI Nov 7, 2020 @ 4:00pm 
can I select some how to only have it dropped to 1024? think it would be enough and still would look good
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Aug 31, 2020 @ 4:47pm 
Updated to 2.7.*
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Aug 31, 2020 @ 3:14pm 
@Everyone: Sorry for the long delay, this will be updated within the day. Sept 1. 2020.
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] May 13, 2020 @ 3:59pm 
@Everyone: Ths mod will be updated within a few days, for now, enjoy some addon of 2.7 to the fullest. (The mod will work for 2.7 but the new addons will not be reduced.)
CESARINI GAMER Apr 11, 2020 @ 5:05am 
I mean if there is a mod that modifies the ship's textures or that the performance mod doesn't modify the ship's textures
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Apr 11, 2020 @ 3:32am 
Cesar199624: I kinda dont get what you just said, can you clarify it? You want only the ships has low textures or only the ship has no modified low textures?
CESARINI GAMER Apr 10, 2020 @ 9:28am 
Good morning, I love your mod, it has helped me a lot. keep it up!.
A question can you make a mod that is only from the textures of the ships? it is rare to see the ships in those low textures
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Apr 6, 2020 @ 11:48pm 
@Everyone: He removed the other workshop page but he added my files on other workshop page. Kindly report this one too:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=903725084

Again, I dont mind if you wanna take credit and say it's yours, but to make sure you're the one who converted those DDS files.
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Apr 6, 2020 @ 10:57pm 
@Everyone: Potato Edition of this is here: For those who really wanna squeeze more performance and/or allocate those-to-be unuse cpu/gpu and ram calculations for late game calculations, here's the mod:

Stellaris Performance Mod - DDS Potato Edition

Arson with Lemurs ◕ω◕: Hopefully. :3

Arson with Lemurs ◕ω◕ Apr 6, 2020 @ 10:39am 
I guess the reports worked, the link leads to a dead end.
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Apr 6, 2020 @ 9:39am 
Update version 3.0a:
-Added DDS Tweak to Federations and Lithoids
-Added missing folders with dds
-added a few hidden dds so I could tell if other people who will upload this mod with a different name that it's stolen.

Again, kindy report this mod: I tried talking to him by just adding me as a credits to it but no, he just keeps insisting it's his mod.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2050211229

I know you're reading this. If you want to take credit for that then do the conversion of dds yourself, dont steal other peoples work.
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Apr 6, 2020 @ 7:42am 
I dont mind people copying the idea. Everyone's free to think and get ideas for themselves after all, but pls dont just steal other peoples content. I AM THE ONE WHO CONVERTED THIS DDS, Some using PHOTOSHOP, some with 3rd party programs. So please kindly report this mod:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2050211229

Not only he copied the description. He didnt even bother to convert them himself. Feel free to do the same but DO the CONVERSION YOURSELF.
Staren Mar 30, 2020 @ 8:32am 
Is there any way to get something like this for Planetary Diversity?
Arson with Lemurs ◕ω◕ Mar 19, 2020 @ 11:10am 
Happy to hear and thanks for the reply! :gk_smile:
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Mar 19, 2020 @ 11:09am 
It should work fine. Im not updating any dds for now to let everyone enjoy the content of federations and lithoids, but aside from those 2, the rest will be tweaked if you're sub to this. :))
Arson with Lemurs ◕ω◕ Mar 19, 2020 @ 10:14am 
I guess no fatal results to the mod in 2.6 either then? ^_^
Excalibur11 Feb 21, 2020 @ 2:52am 
Cool, thanks
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Feb 20, 2020 @ 4:43pm 
@Excalibur: Yep. except the rock ships are not covered, But it should work fine.
Excalibur11 Feb 20, 2020 @ 4:31pm 
Does this work playing 2.5?
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Nov 2, 2019 @ 4:11am 
I'll update this once I got the new dlc. Unfortunately, Im too broke to buy it so it might take a while
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] Jun 8, 2019 @ 10:36pm 
@Everayone: Updated. converted 3 dds planet file by ÷2 only. No change made to the relic portrait because errrors are showing when trying to convert it. It's just the room so it should provide to less to none performance impact.
