Title: texture packs
Post by: olds442 on October 08, 2011, 09:28:36 AM
well, yeah. we can make sounds, we can make skins, but we cant make texture packs. no not for the planes and GVs but the ground and water CV's etc. Here let me use minecraft for example, you can make your own texture packs there, why not here?

You can, but they will NEVER be used in the MAs. As it is, some of the custom map they use in the AvA have custom stuff built in.

No, then people would use them to cheat. AW use to let you "edit" things seen only from your front end. Pink goons, brite red ammo dumps and such were the norm. No thankyou.

no. like HTC publishes texture packs and you can chose to use them, if you want to, this way ppl with good comps can get good textures.

They already have that. It doesn't scale up that far but it looks pretty good imo.

We already have two. High resolution and low resolution for both ground and water.

So I guess wish granted.

Really?  There's a high resolution ground and water texture pack?  The hires texture pack is not just plane skins?

Later tonight I'll take a few screen captures to show the difference, it is significant.

So is it just part of the normal hires texture pack or do I have to download something else?

This is AHII on hi-res texture. I think it looks nice.

This is what I was talking about, they beat me to it. You also have the same thing with water that you enable separately.

Even if stuff had to be approved so you couldn't get hot pink goons as an example, it would still be easy to exploit if it were mix and match.  Suppose for example you could turn the ground into a set of winter textures, but could keep your skins dark.  Stuff like that.

Not worth the headaches IMO.

I think you all are confusing hi-res plane/vehicle textures to the game environment settings of detailed water, bump mapping, etc. for the ground and water.  I run the hi-res texture pack, but can make the environment look great or crap just by changing settings.

I forgot about the bump terrain feature.

Thanks for taking the pictures, you did a much better job than me.

We had the same graphics for 10 years, I don't see HTC making new ones after a year.

They might...  With the new focus on ground war, it would make a fair bit of sense to make it look good from close up as well as in the air.

I hope your right, but I don't see it happening.

This is not accurate.

We have updated the AH graphics multiple times.
