AXO - that's great! The slow load time is the only thing keeping me from using the Remaster right now, but good to know the .dfmod format allows such a huge improvement.

one is pleased to be able to serve (cit.) :D

I also thought that maybe it can be even better by dividing the packages into small parts in order to have control over what to use in the moment this could also be a solution to mike problems

This might help get you started.

Some of the other guys (TheLacus, Nystul, Uncanny_Valley, Hazelnut) can likely provide much better guidance than myself on this. I don't work in the mod system as heavily as they do. Feel free to ask questions and somebody is bound to help. :)

I took some time to understand how to do , but at the end I managed in this way :
-Install Unity 5.5.0f3 not 2018 (i have understood this after some time !..For now but from what I read soon there will be a working version for 2018)
-download or copy github repository of DfU
-open the project of repository with unity5.5
-import your texture in your project ( Assets/StreamingAssets/Textures )
-open mod manager and create new mod (Daggerfall Tools)
-select all the texture than clic on the button Add Selected Asset(s)

Guys, few questions about mod building.

What I did is this:
Downloaded and installed Unity 2018 1.2.f1
Downloaded and unzipped "daggerfall unity master" from git

Now

I place my textures into the "daggerfall master unity/assets/streaming assets/textures"
Start unity
Open "daggerfal unity master" project (I tryed to run it and it works)
Click daggerfall tools > mod builder
Fill in the title version etc
In the unity left bottom corner I select streaming assets
In the unity right bottom corner I click on textures so the folder is selected
In the mod builder I click "add selected assets"

I can see "assets/streaming assets/textures" added in the files section of a mod builder

I click "build mod" and select a folder and a name (I save to desktop)
I click save and

nothing happens :/

I see a red msg in a left bottom corner of a unity

"asset not found: Assets/Streamingassets/textures"

And thats it.

Any help pls?

Is the mod project file located in a subfolder inside Assets/Untracked folder? If not this might be the reason mod builder fails

You need to select files, not a folder. Also be sure to read the documentation, you need to create materials for non-billboard textures. This allows you to set smoothing and glossiness as well as add other textures.

I made it that the dfmod json file is inside the assets/untracked/modbuilder folder now

I select the files I want to build a mod from and add them (when I select all files, I get like 1 frame per 10 seconds, so I select just 10 textures for a start)

I click build mod and set a name and location, click save and a process starts

3 folders are created, when I open the windows one, there are 4 files each 1KB in size, you can download em here

https://files.fm/u/e296sen9#_

So I guess something is wrong because of the small size of the files?

"you need to create materials for non-billboard textures" - is this needed for a dfmod to be built? I dont use any normal maps etc in my mod? We talking creation of 100s+ or even 1000s of files here ;)
