Mod packs are groups of mods put into one package for download, often with an auto-installer. A mod pack's purpose is to make it easier for the player to install and manage multiple mods. [73] Mod packs may be created with the purpose of making the original game more accessible to new players or to make the game harder for veterans to enjoy.
At its launch in November 2013, the Xbox One did not have native backward compatibility with original Xbox or Xbox 360 games. [3] [4] Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb suggested users could use the HDMI-in port on the console to pass an Xbox 360 or any other device with HDMI output [5] through Xbox One.
Crystal Tools is a game engine created and used internally by the Japanese company Square Enix. It combines standard libraries for elements such as graphics, sound and artificial intelligence while providing game developers with various authoring tools .
A data block always occupies 64 bits (8 bytes) of storage/memory space and thus, in 4-bit mode (4bpp), there will be one block for each 4×4 pixels. In 2-bit mode (2-bpp), there will be one block for every 8×4 pixels. For example, a 1024×1024 4-bpp PVRTC texture would have 65,536 blocks and take 524,288 bytes of storage/memory space.
Adaptive scalable texture compression (ASTC) is a lossy block-based texture compression algorithm developed by Jørn Nystad et al. of ARM Ltd. and AMD. [ 1 ] Full details of ASTC were first presented publicly at the High Performance Graphics 2012 conference, in a paper by Olson et al. entitled "Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression".
BITS Download Manager – A download manager for Windows that creates BITS Jobs. [8] BITSync – An open source utility that uses BITS to perform file synchronization on Server Message Block network shares. [9] Civilization V – Uses BITS to download mod packages. Endless OS installer for Windows – Uses BITS to download OS images. [10]
All convert a 4×4 block of pixels to a 64-bit or 128-bit quantity, resulting in compression ratios of 6:1 with 24-bit RGB input data or 4:1 with 32-bit RGBA input data. S3TC is a lossy compression algorithm, resulting in image quality degradation, an effect which is minimized by the ability to increase texture resolutions while maintaining the ...
Ericsson Texture Compression (ETC) is a lossy texture compression technique developed in collaboration with Ericsson Research in early 2005. It was originally developed under the name iPACKMAN [ 1 ] and based on an earlier compression scheme called i PACKMAN .
