Good News! Mods can be made playable with all textures, don't delete .bmp, convert to .tga or .dds!
deleted autosave instances in skirmish maps
skirmish autosave needs to be removed from maps
game can sometimes hit memory overload especially with mods
Incompatible image files can be converted to .dds and .tga. Some mods only require a handful of conversions. #valour can be easily made playable, follow error reports to find which files need conversion. When converting textures, sometimes there is a .tex file with the same name, open it and change the reference inside to match the new image file. (if you get an error like something.bmp is missing). I could also get spanish civil war mod to work, this took quite some effort though. .dds must be a certain size (divisible by 4) to work, if a .dds doesnt load try .tga format. .tga can sometimes be too big regarding file size, if game crashes without error message after caching entities, there might be some .tga that are too big. in that case those images can be downscaled and then they should load. Have not tested multiplayer with mods yet, i guess this would require another person to have the same game files.
