Hey there chaps. Here's the question.

"a.vp" contains a load of textures/effects as dds.
"b.vp" contains a load of textures/effects as jpg/tga.
I run the game engine with use jpg/tga textures enabled.

Does it use the jpgs/tgas in b.vp, even though it will see the dds files in a.vp (in alphabetical order a comes before b) first?

The context of the question is that I am considering supplying TBP textures and effects as dds files with an optional vp with hi res jpg/tga textures/effects although that vp will have a filename which comes after the one with the dds files.

What VP the files are in doesn't matter.  When it loads an image, with TGA being first with -jpgtga, it will search all VPs for a TGA version of the file.  Only if it doesn't find it anywhere will it continue down the line with JPG -> DDS -> PCX -> TGA (16-bit versions).

Thanks Taylor. That's excellent news - and good design.
