Wait, what? Why do you want to force low-quality textures/models, (models just makes it more blocky, textures are the real thing), again?

Well if textures are the major reduction, then i want to know how to force them to XD, also
does that mean a 32x32 texture is less laggy than a 128x128? lol...
either way, if it can reduce the lag im interested..
NOTE: also though, if there was a way to reach theese models, then one could have upto 3 of each skin in a game... if they were orderred to replace the low Q models skin... hmm

Bump, ive done some major fiddleing with game settings, and it seems resolution has the biggest difference on gameplay, im not sure the exact difference of textures, ill update if i find anything else

Final Bump,
well i tested importing 2 types of textuers, a 1024x1024 and a 32x32, i gaged the amout of time it took for the game to lag, and the 32x was very slightly better than the 1024 (lagwise not size :P) I think that warcraft automatically resizes the 32x to probably 256 for ingame viewing, and same for the 1024, but the quality option does seem to help, however importing a smaller texture doesnot. As for model, a smaller model does seem to help quite a bit, although the only small model worth importing will be the base unit, since it will be used most throughout the game :P

ANY further developments on either of the main issues, i would really like a PM, as i wont be checking back in this forum section for a while.. :P

Thanks
