Title: What is your max texture size?
Post by: RandomTiger on January 14, 2004, 09:50:58 pm: If you dont know use this special version of the launcher to find out, go to the DX8 section and press get texture size.

I'm running this poll because I would like to put foward the idea of getting rid of support for texture sections in D3D8. I'm just researching at the moment to see what kind of impact that might have.

I have a GF2, MX, so I'm assuming it's the same. I haven't gotten my MoBo delivered yet, so I can't test. And afterward, I'm saving for a 9600xt anyway..

Use the program provided, dont guess.
'Opimal' is not useful.

Same here. Probably not a good idea to make textures that big if you want to retain anything like an acceptable framerate though... :p :D

I hope not, theres an actual point to this.
If no one posts or e-mails on it I will have to assume it was and strike it off the record.

yup that's what I'm saying, I'm afraid I never actualy use the launcher (I never did with the V launcher) exept to set the registry, I have several shortcuts with assorted cmandline options for what I want, this is probly why I have only run in OGL mode two or three times (that and the fact that I'm not working on it)
ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128mb, if you didn't know

It needs the hi res vp file to be present in the freespace directory to offer 1024x768. Is the 'Hi res pack' box ticked at the bottom?

Also make sure the target exe is in the correct directory.

I know thats simple stuff but theres not much that can go wrong with that code, if thats not the problem I'll put a debug version together for you.

Also of course make sure you have v3 or better. I think there was a 2.x version that had a bug that caused the problem you have.

I take it neither OGL or D3D offer 1024x768?

Hm, my point... do I have to have a point... Well, FS2_Open should not bring this machine to its knees unless it's some really radical change.

Try with the Texture size launcher version earlier in this Thread which will show you your maximum texture size.

Just double FS2 used resolution and it will be enough.

Post by: Omniscaper on January 22, 2004, 03:04:11 am: If you want to test your 4096 capabilities, I recently uploaded the Sovereign Class's mega uber texture set which tops at 4096x2048. My Radeon 9500pro handled it with negligable FPS loss.

This is strange, your Launcher says my card's topsize is 2048, yet the game displays my texture set and it does not look downsampled.
