DisablePersonTextureCompression enables you to load textures that apply to a Person Atom (skin only) uncompressed. This will increase fidelity especially on normal maps.
It works by using Stopper's plug-in but instead of all textures uses a filter to look for two different paths:
- VaM\\Custom\\Atom\\Person\\Textures\
- VaM\\Custom\\Atom\\Person\\Skin\
So only person atom textures are loaded uncompressed. Also, the paths aren't configurable at the moment but for most it won't need to be.
