I saw the topic and i think the textures was Great. But have the textures been published yet?

i believe a few select people have the textures, but they are not publicly available. i contacted the author of the textures a while ago, asking him for a copy so that i can include them in my then plans for a standalone client. we ended up getting into an argument about him replacing the 'clan" textures on the map. basically i told him it was disrespectful to remove the clan's texture on the map, as it is their mark of credit for their work on the map. he thought otherwise.

so anyway, it ended up getting pretty sour, and he decided to be selfish and keep it to himself.

you have the textures preto?!

you must be one of the "select few" who he has decided to share with then.

whats your connection like? could you zip up your entire textures folder (or just the png/jpg/non-pcx files) and setup a private httpd/ftpd? from there i can mirror them onto my web server for everyone to download/use.

such great textures would be a shame to keep restricted to a few people. send me a priv message

hey WnT

surprised to see you're still around.

if you must know, im not making a standalone client anymore. it has turned out to be too complicated for me to do. i dont know enough about how quake2 works to do what i want.

by me asking for preto's textures, i can genuinely say that my intentions are to share it with everyone. its not for me

Nice work slacker

First of all when retexturing make sure you try to make the new textures look like the same as the original one only highres. Because some of those textures may have been made for a specific map where that texture fits, but for other maps that use that same texture it doesn't fit _at all_.

Anyhow, I really like the work you are doing.
I for one would like rewamped AQ2 textures. (Y)

Exactly nova.
One very importaint thing when making 32-bit textures is to keep as close to the original texture as possible. This is because alot of maps use the same textures but in different places. I.E. the texture on the top of the trees on teamjungle are grass textures and the the treetrunk is textured with a grass/dirt texture, so if somebody makes a leaf texture and a bark texture for the trunk it will look very nice at teamjungle but it will look really silly with leafs where there's supposed to be grass. I hope you all understand.

Making 32-bit textures isn't that hard for anyone with some basic photoshop knowledge. I'd do it myself (I've actually tried and made a few for personal use) but I'm not that good.

There are some textures out there already. Some are great and some could be improved. The best way to rextexture would be doing it map by map. just type texturelist (I think) in the console and then condump and you will have a list of all the textures that are used in the map. Then just look at the .wal textures and try and replicate then in high rez.

It would be highly appreciated if someone made the effort and whipped up some spiffy looking textures. The maps could use a texture makeover for a change
