Re: 512 tex - tile progress
On all tiles transitions with the transiton program are not made and no n8tlightning is implemented so far. We need to paint rivers too for the river program to use (showtime)

Re: Creating 512 res tiles
Yes decreasing the tile size would be a big advance imo - thats why I keep asking Wids for his theater :D. the texture afaik will always be the size of the tile so the resolution will increase. A 250m tile with 512 textures would mean a resolution of 0.5meter per pixel - the same as 2048 texture on ...

The highest resolution without problems was 2048x2048 over one generic tile. fps without objects were more or less as high as usual with slight choppyness because of the texture loading (4MB per tex). THe sense of speed is fantastic - should be easily comparable to lomac. With many 2048 textures i g...

Re: some nice sat images
I've resized some of them in proper scale and saved it as 2048 pixel squares (16 times 512's) - some in 512x512.
The hard work is the transitions and the n8 lightning i guess.
How do i get the last 5 colors out of the image so it doesnt randomly distribute the n8 lightning pixels?

thx to gargoyle i found some nice huge sat images of iran iraq on http://www.digitalglobe.com/

I should try to make some 512 tiles from them...
Do 512 textures lead to low fps or stuttering if applied to the whole terrain? Any experiences?
