Project Atlas: Common & Nordic
Version: 1.3

Description
Replaces most of the building meshes in the "common" and "nord" sets with completely new, atlased versions to improve performance (reducing drawcalls) in areas where these meshes are used.

Installation
Use mod manager (recommended) or manually copy "meshes" and "textures" folders to your Data Files directory.


If you use a common set texture replacer, you can use the "nord_atlas_generator.bat" and "nordcommon_atlas_generator.bat" to patch the texture atlas with your replacer.
You will need to have Image Magick (https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php) installed [during the installation process, select options "Install legacy utilities (e. g. convert)" and "Add application directory to system path"]. Then move the .bat file into your "Textures" folder and run it.
Be warned that it requires all textures to present as loose files and requires them to have the same relative proportions as vanilla.
The resulting atlas should have 1:4 and 1:8 (Width:Height) proportions respectively. If the atlas proportion are correct and yet you get white meshes ingame or want to scale down a texture for any other reason then open the patcher with notepad and follow the instructions at the top.
