It looks like you're using 1/2 texture size.

your texturemap should be 1024x1024


looks like you are using 512x512... basically half the resolution it should be.

make sure to download the hires texture pac and save the default 1024x1024 skin.

Title: ok
Post by: Nr_RaVeN on November 14, 2005, 08:43:52 AM

I belive i did change the file to 1024x1024 was that ok to do?

then I weatherd the hell out of the skin and when i shot the screan I  blew it up so it would be larger illl bet I lost some detail when i did that  because its really sharp in game and when I look out the cockk pit it looks sharper than the default skin
think that could be it?

You need to download the High Res Skin package at this location (http://www.hitechcreations.com/download/dlgframe.html), then install it and then save the default skin.  This will give you a 1024x1024 default skin.  Anything that starts at 512x512 is low res.

Cheers,

Thing is if you inflate the file from 512 to 1024 you double the size of plane lines and they look fat and blury.

That is why you wana make them at 1024 and then when they are shrunken by skuzzy to 512 and 256 they look ok.

Also when you post screenies its important to see detail on the screenies and hence you wana post more close up pictures.

The FWs are okay... The A5 is really a hidden monster. It's got some good attributes. Dunno how but was passing one in the other direction with a horde on my butt, and I was in something pretty darn fast. Can't remember what, but it was way faster than an A5. Anyways he was able to turn 180 and actually CLOSE distance with me, myself being relatively flat, trying to out run the horde. I died from the 190a5, because he accelerated way faster to top speed than I could, and caught me
