manual texture settings

[Othesus]

That setting is stored in your eq2_recent.ini and should be called cl_charactertextureshrink. I haven't tried anything with it but I'm guessing 0 would mean the highest resolution mipmap and 5 would mean the lowest.

Hehe, when you say quickly you mean about 30 seconds to load the textures and then another 30 seconds to unload them? (On my computer.)
