Q> Does this mod still work?
A> Yes, but it may have more errors. Errors in this case refer to texture issues (See other sticky). This mod can't break your game as far as I'm aware. You can look at some of the bug reports to see some of the textures issues. There are people who still use this mod today and are perfectly happy, but you have to decide if the trade offs are worth it.
Q> Would you consider updating it?
A> I'm not playing BG3 or modding it, so I don't really want to update this. If I was to do it again I would be packing everything as new virtual textures entries to take advantage of the shaders and to avoid any UUID collisions with other modders or with any larian update. That's a lot of work.
As always if someone wants to update this or modify it any form they are more than welcome to.
1> As larian adds/replaces/updates textures it will cause this mod to become more outdated.
2> no cloth/metalic non-VTEX shaders.
3> There is a new option with repacking VTEX, but I haven't experimented with it YET.

I'm not working on this mod ATM, but if anyone wants to take over, you'd need to do a lot of XML redirects. Its a pretty big task, and you might want to wait for larian to cool down on updates before undertaking it.
Then maybe delete this?
some of the clothing textures are messed up if i dye something. for example gortashs shoes. if i dye them furnace red and black, the cloth part isnt red, but also black, which wasnt the case before. or some parts are just missing. does anyone of you have the same problem?
edit: it was indeed this mod
If it helps, it only seems to happen during dialogues.
What I didn't test before removing it though was loading the vtex_to_tex later in my LO so not sure if that would have made a difference.
EDIT:
Spoke too soon, s#*! still happening :(
I tried a clean install, changing all graphical options (usually run them at highest possible on 4K) and only disabling the VTEX mod solved this for me.
thanks in advance, completely newbie here
Make sure you are using the legacy mode for DXT1 to avoid getting the DX10 header (don't use the one that says BC1, you want the one that says DXT1 (under legacy compressed).
Finally you want to make sure if there is data in the alpha channel you aren't losing it along the way with chainner. Oftentimes it will premultiply the alpha at certain steps, to avoid this completely you can "split transparency".
I hope that is helpful
On another note I want to try some VT conversion for one of your upscaled armor (as soon as I have a bit of time). Which armor looks "bad" without the VT shaders ?
This wonderful mod is dead, so?
:'(
Thank you for having these mods, I hope we can enjoy them again.
Now that I have your attention, please see the below documentation on packaging .dds textures as virtual textures:

Based on Norbyte's own work: https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/blob/535bf3aa02406a51b3e2ce325c5af3b1fbc8da05/Docs/VirtualTextures.md#loading-virtual-textures
Hope you can get this working~
