The textures must be built into a terrain. You can't simply save them to a folder in the game and expect them to work.

If you are interested in making terrains there is a wealth of information in this area of the board. Including where to save the textures to build them into a terrain (about a million times).

I remember editing the water/splashes for my Hell map for h2h years ago. Been a while.

I don't think HiTech would approve of them simply because 256x256 is much much larger than they presently are. They may not hurt your FR for that size terrain in H2H. But in the MA you have skins (with resolutions of 512x512 or 1024x1024) and many more players to contend with. If you reduced the size to 128x128 it would reduce the download size by 1/4 and there would not be a major loss in quality.

You can see some explosion effects in this video, but the video quality is bad.

Unfortunately Dhyran this is stuff croduh has worked on himself and could only be used offline in customised terrains.

You won't be able to get them in the online arenas.

HTC could no doubt do something similiar but thats down to them to implement.

If you didn't know already the in-game skins and some of the MA maps are done by members of the community(for no fee).  Of course HTC have to accept them based on the criteria that they set out.

Please let's not bring that to the topic again clercik.

It cannot be done dyhran, it can only be used in new maps.

Thank you...
