the initial set of optimization steps for those who will do further optimization later, and.

the starting point for those that just want to accomplish vanilla texture optimization and perhaps optimize some mod textures, and never really use DDSopt again if possible,.

Detailed instructions on using DDSopt are available in the Guide:DDSopt The resource data structures of Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 are very similar, so the instructions (other than specific folder names) and batch files described here can also be used for both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas texture optimization. It is intended to work with the Fear and Loathing in New Vegas guide for Fallout New Vegas and the Clear and Present Danger guide for Fallout 3. It includes a complete set of instructions for these tasks it is not necessary to read any other DDSopt guide sections for these tasks. The quick-start includes step-by-step instructions for optimizing the vanilla textures, and for optimizing mod textures from a few selected mods in the STEP Fallout guides.

It summarizes the basic steps needed to get started and the general guidelines to apply when optimizing any textures.

The quick-start guide provides an overview of how to use DDSopt to optimize the vanilla Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 textures and the textures in Fallout NV and Fallout 3 mods. Fallout QUICK-START GUIDE | Download Fallout 2.8 batch files referenced in this Fallout DDSopt guide
