Changelogs

Version 2.2
- added the 'Glowing Sea' set, it should help a lot with performance in that area
- reduced repetitive patterns on beach textures and corrected one of it's specular maps
Version 2.1
- added some more textures for 'Best Performance' archive
- added new textures, in detail:
  
  CraterDebris01_d.dds
  CraterDebrisBrickRed_d.dds
  CraterDebrisBrickTan_d.dds
  DebrisGroundTile02_d.dds
  NF_Dirt01_d.dds
  NorthernFoothillsRubbleRock01_d.dds
  OceanFloor01_d.dds
- many specular maps are in DX1 now, it allows better brightness control and furthermore the maps are reduced to half the size
Version 2.0
- added textures for the marsh set, in detail:
  
  MarshHighGround01_d.dds
  MarshHighGround01_n.dds
  MarshHighGround01_s.dds
  MarshMuddyGrass01_d.dds
  MarshMuddyGrass01_n.dds
  MarshMuddyGrass01_s.dds
  MarshMudFloor01_d.dds
  MarshMudFloor01_n.dds
  MarshMudFloor01_s.dds
  MarshMudTrash01_d.dds
  MarshMudTrash01_n.dds
  MarshMudTrash01_s.dds
- added 'Best Performance' archive
  
  For this one I deleted many alpha channels (transparency), it's meant for people who still use '1k'. Here we have the same textures as for 'Best Choice', but without transparency they are half their size and much easier to render. As downside you will see some more seams on grounds and even animals covered by them... still better than '1k' I think ;)
Version 1.9
- added more ground textures and improved the existing ones - 4k package 1.8 is still up to date
- CommonwealthDefault01_NF_d.dds
  CommonwealthDefault01_s.dds (overwrites old)
  LandRoughDirt01_d.dds
  LandRoughDirt01_n.dds
  LandRoughDirt01_s.dds
  RootsEroded01_d.dds (overwrites old)
  RootsEroded01_n.dds (overwrites old)
  RootsEroded01_s.dds (overwrites old)
  RootsEroded02_d.dds
  RootsEroded02_n.dds
  RootsEroded02_s.dds
Version 1.8
- Finally added some better matching specular maps. The landscape doesn't just look better, furthermore '1k' and 'Best Choice' have become much more V-Ram friendly
Version 1.7
- added some matching coast and land rocks to the beaches
- finished some minor beach textures
- made the beach set less V-Ram heavy (at least for 1k and Best Choice)
- added a 4k package containing road gravel, many textures of the blasted forest set and the beaches together with their rocks
Version 1.6
- added beach and coast grounds
Version 1.5
- finally changed the main dirt/gravel texture to something more tasty
- Added the blasted forest set - you might recognize some of the textures ;)
Version 1.4
- optimised some older textures
- added textures for dirt cliffs, Sanctuary's street, cobblestones and the wall under it's bridge
Version 1.3
- 1k and 2k archives contain Normal AND Diffuse maps of matching size now. Means the 2k package has been upgraded to be the HD one, use 'Best Choice' or even 1k if you are concerned about performance ;)
- improved distant detail on many textures
- added 'Best Choice' as main archive. It's a combination of all archives to provide best look together with best performance
Version 1.2
- Sanctuary bridge looks quite acceptable now ;)
- added some more ground textures and improved existing ones
- added optional 'HD Normal Maps in 3Dc', the format Bethesda originally used - they are without any compression artifacts but less pronounced and twice as performance heavy as 'HD Normal Maps in DXT1'
Version 1.1
- most wasteland grounds are covered by now, means worst seams are gone ;)
- corrected the faulty dirthpath texture (error was most prominent between Sanctuary and Vault)
- improved the texture for the sanctuary bridge... it's everything else than perfect and still in low resolution but for now it will do the job
- fixed wrong filepaths for 'Vivid Fallout - Landscapes - HD Normal Maps'

Vivid Fallout - All in One

This is an overhaul of original landscape textures and some new ones,
I'm going to add more over time.
Alternative archives in 2k(HD) and 1k for weeker systems are provided as well.

Most wasteland grounds are available by now, I will add the rest by time
and replace the ones I dislike.

I just sharpened the textures somewhat, added new normal maps and a slight shadowing.
However, the result looks quite good and...

the textures are less V-Ram heavy than the original ones!

I'm going to redo all landscapes and most likely other stuff as well

How to activate loose textures:

1. Copy the archives 'Data' folder to the 'Data' folder in your game directory

2. Locate C:\Users\MyName\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4.ini and add:

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
