Mipmapping Windower

Mipmapping windower
Mipmapping and Drawdistance aren't the same thing. Drawdistance is how far away objects appear, mipmapping is a technique of reducing texture quality based on distance from viewer. It seems that mipmapping is being set to max somehow.
Doesn't change what mipmapping is, FFXI didn't invent it. Seems Windower's description is out of date then.

I've released an addon for Ashita v3 and v4 to fix this change. Windower can make use of the info in my post to make their own as well.

we released MipmapFix a plugin that reinstates the original behavior.
can see a full post in the update thread May 10th 2023 update

RadialArcana said: » Would it be possible to add a extra feature to this plugin as a toggle so that it only turns on during a zone transition and is off most of the rest of the time? So it turns on when you zone or warp etc and for a couple of seconds after appearing in the new zone and then turns off once established in a new zone. Level 1 mipmap = full time, level 2 mipmap = only during zone transitions. All texture mipmaps for the entire zone are created when the zone is loaded (outside of a few multiload zones like sky), and after that it's done. However it makes mipmaps for players, monsters etc as you come across them and this can cause hitching as you run around. Would be cool to be able to have it on for zone textures where the shimmering is most noticeable and off after that where it is far less noticeable. You can still get shimmering on players and monsters but it's far less of a visual annoyance and is a performance hog (esp with mods). Interesting idea, we will look into that. it would likely end up being it's own plugin some thing like `DynamicMipmapping` bump mapping still not working send help

Necro Bump Detected!
[941 days between previous and next post]Are there any configuration options with this plugin? Recently switched to using DXVK with DX8 support and it works great as long as I don't have this plugin loaded with mipmapping to 3 or higher.

None, the plugin just restores behavior as it was before SE made the game ignore any other setting than 0 or 1. Lili said: » Asura.Saevel said: » Are there any configuration options with this plugin?

None, the plugin just restores behavior as it was before SE made the game ignore any other setting than 0 or 1. Right but what was that behavior? Does each level define the number of mipmaps or bias the LOD value any? Is it only rewriting a value inside memory that instructs the FFXI engine to do something? Been trying to get a stable DXVK configuration for FFXI on Windows so we don't have to rely on a DX8 to 9/11 proxy and instead can go straight from DX8 to something universal like Vulkan.

I don't know these details, but in this post Wiccaan shows the RE'd code from the client which is maybe helpful to you? https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57264/may-2023-version-update-part-1/10/#3663789 note worth difference between what atom0s explains there and the windower implementation.
his example sets mipmap to 6, ours sets it to the value the user has defined. I've been using DXVK 2.6.1 with Mipmapfix loaded and set to 3 in windower without issue. I will try with Mipmap 6 for a bit. Whether it's functioning properly I can't say for sure.

I think its the number of mipmaps to generate and not a LOD bias. DXVK lets me play with some of the settings but I can get it stable if I don't enable Supersampling and mipmapping at 2 or less on a 1440p resolution. I'm also seeing if reshade might also be interfering. |
