textures High-res

[Sentinel3d]

hi,

Black Project asked me if i could make all textures High-res.
i looked around the forum and saw that there are already high-res textures.
But... where are they? if they are not available i would like to re-create them.

do i have to keep something in mind?
like:
* Minimum resolution.
* PNG file format.
* Seamless & Tilable
* Must be seen from exactly above
* free textures (no license or something like that)
Maybe more?!

or do you folks have another idea?
because i can take my photo camera and take some pictures outside...

and if i'm ready with upgrading the textures... can i put them here on the forum (a link) so you folks can download them?

regards,
Sentinel3d

Hi there,

the terrain has already been reworked a lot, see: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2379

I'll quick answer your questions as I am short in time:

* Minimum resolution.
I think you should ask "Maximum Resolution?"
The general rule is "Bigger is better". You can always downscale textures for less powerfull hardware.

* PNG file format.
Yes, basically any lossless texture format which supports an alpha channel would be fine. As we use PNG already for our textures...

* Seamless & Tilable
Would only apply to terrain textures, i think.

* Must be seen from exactly above
I don't know what you mean.

* free textures (no license or something like that)
GPL v2(+) or CC-BY / BY-SA would be fine, I think.

hi,

yeah i already saw the link... but where are those textures?

yeah i thought about that texture size...
i think i make em 2048x2048 and then downscale them.
maybe there can be a button in the settings for texture size?

the "Must be seen from exactly above" that's only for the ground textures.

GPL v2(+) or CC-BY / BY-SA?!?! :-S what does that mean?

i'll be improving all the texpages. weapons, buildings, etc etc

http://developer.wz2100.net/browser/tru ... e/texpages those with 1MB+ filesize.

The game has an in-game option for texture size. GPL v2+ means, GNU General Public Licence version 2 with the "or any later version" clause. Here CC stands for CreativeCommons read: CC-BY and/or CC-BY-SA.

This are the licenses we preefeer, from the restrictive ones. You can also put it under the public domain if you want. Your choice.

ok... but that's not all of em...
i thought about make em all in 1 package... so i'll make em all... and then link them here. (the zip file or something)

about that licensing... i don't understand it...
Can i use the textures from CGtextures.com? and put the GNU general public licence txt file in the zip?
or am i all wrong?

otherwise i create the textures myself... get my photo camera and take some pictures

hey!

i did some texturing today...
could someone test this for me, and take a screenshot?
i made the Power station and the HQ first...the command Center and the other one (don't know what it is... research?!) are for next week.
tell me what you think.

after this i want to change the HQ texture (page-12-player-buildings.png)
but what do i have make of the sides? somekind of windows i think?

Those textures, are great. They're just the baseplates, though (I belive those are power generator, HQ, research facility, and command relay post). Do you have the rest of the buildings' textures?

You can test textures in-game by putting your textures as a mod file and loading it, or alternatively by simply building a new base.wz with your textures.

[Black Project]

Great work, i taken a screenshot with your new base plates:

Too bad i can't make better textures to the game

P.s: Which program you used to make this texture better?

photoshop?! xD
i did this at my work... in my lunch time... 30 minutes work

but that looks verry verry nice!

[Per]

Great work.

Maybe a little bit too bright?

[Edit: Removed blurry screenshots... Sorry, used wrong texture size.]

[Sentinel3d]

yeah... i think i'll put a black layer over that...
but your graphics are still verry blurry... why that?!

[Per]

Sorry about those blurry screenshots. I set the texture size way too low. Here is a better one: http://imagebin.ca/view/TSzAQgIT.html

hey,

i finished the first texture!
if there's something i have to change... plz tell me.

how can i test these myself? in what directory do i have to put these?
do i need to convert them or something?

- The stock wheels in-game most closely resemble "A"...imho.

- I think "B" looks cool.
