But what are the RR files ?

OK, if you don't like it, you won't get that texture with the RR files.

If that's intended to be some sort of punishment, it's not working. I've learned enough about texture making, that I believe I can make the maps look atleast 30% better than how you've made it, anyway.

Oh, and and

The files of my project, Renegade Ressurgence

You are the master of insulting people.

[Taristin]

I only posted them because you said they'd be ignored. Man you take everything so personally.

Well, why didn't you just tell me?

I used the texture which was included with the FS1 -> FS2 converted Valkyrie. I doubled the size and sharpened it. I do not clearly remember which tools I used.

The very nature of the sharpen filter means that the image quality will be reduced if you do that. Let me try to explain.

Basically, resizing does nothing, if done with a good proggy, as FS resizes back to whatever size it needs anyway. But when you resize and change the image, that is going to change the way it looks. The Sharpen filter, basically, just accentuates differences between nearby areas of colour and shade. So essentially, what you did, was to make the pixels 4 times bigger than they already were, then accentuated the differences between each pixel. This has led to a lower quality image, because the pixels are more pronounced, instead of less.

I am sure you would see the difference if somebody(mainly me) posted an image about the Valkyrie with the original texture.

but as I mentioned, I better like my texture, I find it nicer than the original one. So it looks like it will remain in my personal use. I do not take are about it.

[Taristin]

Either way. I'm sure Lightspeed will eventually make a better looking version. And if he doesn't, I'd be willing to bet DaBrain or Turambar would.

[TopAce]

They ARE artists. I am not. This makes difference.

[Taristin]

Well, it certainly helps, I won't argue that.

Nah, it's not that important for me. But thanks

Do not forget the SF Dragon!

The FSPort already has high-res textures. Besides, what's the point of making the Dragon's textures even sharper? It's not like you're going to notice the difference on a fighter that small anyway.

[TopAce]

The question should not be directed at me: I could ask the same from the others. And what's the point of increasing the polycount of every FS fighters from the optimal 500-800 to six million? That's another thing that makes no sense.

[StratComm]

Actually "optimal" is around 1000, IIRC, which is about as much detail as anyone wants to put in to a fighter.  Textures can fake the rest.  And "people" do it because it looks good.

My pleasure. Let me know next time, sometimes stuff slips past me.

bigger poly count means that modders can add details

[TopAce]

And who can see the details right in the middle of a dogfight?

[karajorma]

And you're always dog fighting in FS2? You never ever have 5 seconds to give a ship a flyby?
