It makes one pixel dots spread. Not healthy for space station levels. Is there another good shape available?IP: Logged |

Hi qbg,Could you explain it makes "one pixel dots spread" in a different way (maybe with a picture)? Do you mean that if you paint a single pixel it becomes anti-aliased in-game? WBM

He means the textures are stretched. Like the 64x64 tiles are stretched to 1024x1024. Of course they use some sort of subsampling that behaves similar to antialiasing. But the end result is that your pixel (say, a star) is blown up very large.
I believe this behavior is built into the game engine, and can't be changed. In fact, it is required because of the small size of the horizon graphics. It is better than having to provide multi-gigabyte horizon graphics.

Hi Ultimate.Reality, I am interested to see how this is achieved without slowing down the game. Are there any working examples (wads or levels) I can look at that you know of? WBM IP: Logged |
