PoeSmoother - effects remover

[omnivore]

0-17 folders worked, then when i hit 18 there was errors in distortion folder, 19 had no error msg but game didnt load past gears, didnt get further since i dont want to spend more time

@bSun0000 Do your textures work with Dx10? I have much better performance with Dx10 but it doesn't support texture_quality so it uses too much RAM for me (constant crashes), Dx9 on the other hand supports it but it has worse perfromance, could I use your texztures for less RAM usage with Dx 10? Thanks for response in advance.

Resized textures for 3.2 update:

--download links removed--

Well.. im a bit an idiot. Did not check the my scripts correctly and.. make a double compressed textures. Some of them or all.. sadly, i don't know, so i need to redo everything now. This will took some time.. again
Forgot to cleanup after last resizing session. Small mistake leads to a big time waste.

-----------

x4 smaller images (ex: 2048 -> 512)
Reason? 16 times less data to load, extremely helpful for the weak pcs. Game becomes playable even on 32 bit systems with slow hdds.
Make sure you have set texture quality & mipmap levels to the maximum quality in your graphical card control panel, and texture_quality=0 in the game settings (just to avoid potato-looking graphics in the game).

How to use?
- Download, unpack, open your smoother (or other ggpk-edit software, like visualGGPK) and select your Content.ggpk file
- Wait until it loads up
- Open Art_0-31 folder and drag & drop inner Art folder to the smoother (on the left side with file's tree)
- Wait until it replace all files (you will see the list)
- Repeat with other Art_X folders

Watch for the free RAM in your system, VisualGGPK code has a nasty bug with heavy memory consumption with many replaced files, restart smoother if memory is low.

PS: I did not test this textures yet, let me know if something goes wrong.

Resized textures for 3.2 update:

Sorry for the delay guys. Here, updated textures, tested and fully worked now.
Same size as before - 1\4 of original. 4GB -> 360MB

Download (Google): 3.2ResizedTexturesTested.rar - Google Drive
Mirror (Univ): 3.2ResizedTexturesTested
Mirror (Fast EU): Download this file
or update your browser

PS: Make sure to restore Content.ggpk from backup (if you have) or run PackCheck.exe (and game launcher after that) if you previously used my broken textures pack for 3.2 update.
New archive had a bit different set of files, so clean (textures-wise) ggpk is required.

When i drag folder:
Unable to replace file 4K\AquamarineFlaskBuff.dds -> Missing

Should I drag one at a time? So many files

Could someone help me find consecrated ground effect and point what to remove that it would stop showing after using a potion that creates it ? (I just noticed that it drops ~20fps for me when used)

POE crashed after startup with poe smoother ((

FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY:

Here is archive with removed fog, rain, corpses, extra blood and decals:
DecalsFogCorpsesExtraBlood.rar - Google Drive
Based on fresh 3.1 files.
IMPORTANT! Apply this fix to avoid the crashes:
PoeSmoother - effects remover

Made a backup first. Created using my own scripts, so if you encounter any crashed with that - tell me and will fix it.

And this is a last-stand option for anyone, who lags as hell:
PoeUltraLightNoEffects.rar - Google Drive
Archive contains ~15k files, separated by Meta_(N) folders (1k files per dir)
This will remove most of the effects from game - particles, trails, sound effects, wind, lights and decals.

May lead to crashes - still untested. May (or WILL) result in unexpected deaths - some of the skill & effects may become invisible.
But this will let you play with nice & smooth FPS even in the most cancerous parties, on very weak hardware.
Will make your game looks bad, may make your game feels bad. DO NOT USE if you are not sure about it
(also based on 3.1 files)
(make a backup, i'm serious.)
