L3DTio_SMTPlugin information
To SSE2 or not to SSE2?By default, L3DT Pro uses a version if this plugin that was compiled to use SSE2 optimisations to accelerate the DXT1 compression algorithm. These extensions make SMT writing at least 10x faster, but are only compatible with the following processor lines:
If you are using an older processor, the SSE2-optimised plugin will probably crash ( Notes
This plugin is the back-end for the main Spring plugin (L3DTio_Spring), and has no user interface or options. To load/save SMT files, you must use L3DTio_Spring.
This plugin uses the Squish library by Simon Brown for DXT1 compression/decompression.
Many thanks go to Tobi Vollebregt for assistance with decoding the SMT format.
