4Aces No Compression Meshes

This is a simple repacking of the original meshes, that removes the compression that was used. This frees your system to run the game instead of decompressing the meshes. No meshes were altered in the packing of these BSAs.

This is a simple repacking of the original textures, that removes the 90%+ compression that Obsidian used and converts it to 0% compression. This frees your system to run the game instead of decompressing the textures. No textures were altered, so this is only for those that do not like my effect but wish to get the FPS boost that comes with 4Aces FNV RegRes.

4Aces FNV HiRes

All major textures in the game were increased to 400%+ of their original pixels, sharpened, and had some detail added. Then new normal maps were generated to take advantage of the greater detail, which results in a significant improvement over the original graphics. This enjoys 0% compression files, which helps offset the fact that larger files requires more system resources.

You can further compensate by reducing some of the Advanced graphics settings (as access by the FNV Launcher's Options -> Advanced tab). Reducing LOD distance, turning off Shadows (since the game engine does not use them anyway), and following the other suggestions from Tweak Guides (http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_1.html) will help you get the most out of this pack. My under-clocked dual-core can handle this pack easily enough, but if you have less than 4GB of RAM (total) then you might want to consider 4Aces FNV RegRes.

4Aces FNV HiRes Lite Addon

This is the rest of the files that had to be removed from the gaming magazine version of FNV HiRes, so that it would fit on the disc. Just install this after 4Aces FNV HiRes Lite.7z and that will give you the full FNV HiRes.

This is a down-sized version of the HiRes sized textures to Regular Resolution (the same size that the game comes with). These have all the extra sharpening, detail, and other features that HiRes has, making them better than the originals without the performance cost that HiRes has. This enjoys 0% compression files.

4Aces FNV HiRes Landscape

The HiRes version of my landscape re-texture pack. To be installed after HiRes. This makes the landscape look more like Nevada and less like F3. You can install this after RegRes without much conflict. It is only when you mix regular resolution sized textures of the same type that things start to look a little weird. Since this pack replaces everything except the plants, it will not contrast with the other textures too badly.
