Very impressive C-beam.

Are all these images free to use in other projects? as I would like to use some of them for the Darkmod.

Great work! :thumb:

Although, just so you know, we usually also include the family folder name with the texture file name, as well as terrain scale and tile factor (if different from the original texture) to make it easier for Nameless Voice to implement them in the pack. I don't think you have to go through and edit all the things you posted thus far, unless you REALLY want to, just something to keep in mind for future reference. Another huge collection like that without directions would probably give the poor guy an aneurysm. :p

As for me, update on city/roof in two flavors; a straight basic version and one with an attempt to make sense of the texture, according to the tile pattern in the photo source I used. Both have terrain_scale 64 tile_factor 4.

That's some really awesome work, C-BEAM!
I've added nearly all* the linked textures to the EP and updated the progress page.

If there's really 700 textures, though, this method will be incredibly time consuming. Perhaps it would be better if you sent me all the textures in an archive, or put it up somewhere, such as Google Drive?
(I can also supply an upload page to directly upload the files to me, or FTP details, if those are more convenient.)

* I didn't add core_2\tile1 yet, because there are two different updated versions of this texture. I'll need to take a closer look to see which one is the better match.
I also didn't include the cab textures yet, since they are not a complete set, and would clash with the (much lower res) replacements for the other cab textures already in the EP.


NecroBob: You had to make two versions, didn't you? The first one looks like a perfect matching replacement, while the second looks more realistic. I'm not sure which to pick...

By the way, there's a utility for comparing original and replacement textures, which understands .mtl files and also detects size conflicts. It's very helpful for checking that all your .mtl files are correct.

I might as well re-upload it since I updated it since the last time I linked it.

To use it, you need to have all of the original textures extracted, and you need to modify TextureComparer.ini to point to the two paths (one with original textures, one with replacement textures.)

Don't worry, there is no 700 textures prepared to flood the topic. Most of them are already in EP in better quality and many of the other textures are not suitable for EP.
