TXR Size: Double Width?
Yes, 1024 X 1024 (or other square to the power of 2) might be standard -- but would 2048 X 1024 (or equivalent proportion) work properly? Anyone tried?
Re: TXR Size: Double Width?
i don't know in Redline, but, other games, use this kind of format too. So far I used non conventional textures (M5, XLR, S60R) and its like they all suffering in fps issue.
Re: TXR Size: Double Width?
Some of the built-in textures are this format, especially lightmaps and trackmaps. So they work but i don't know if they have a performance impact vs a square one.DANDY wrote:would 2048 X 1024 (or equivalent proportion) work properly? Anyone tried?
Don, I always thought the FPS issues with your cars was due to large amounts of polys, especially double-sided ones. Its never been a huge issue for me though, not enough to stop me driving them anyway.

all the meshes of my cars are double-sided. I always thought a surface is visible as well if i watch that from front and from rear.
Is this killing performance? Well, apart high polygons, but for this second reason I'm not able to do anything. I posted a shaded-wireframe CTS-V image. Modern cars are complex, lot of smoothed surfaces to fight with...

From inside you should only see the interior model, (as long as it fits seamlessly with the windows). Otherwise you are drawing all the polys twice. Its the seamless fit which is the trick. If you start building from the window frames of the body model and don't leave any holes, it should be fine.

Exactly. Sorry Don, your cars are beautiful but making all the polygons double-sided is a lazy solution.slowDan wrote:From inside you should only see the interior model, (as long as it fits seamlessly with the windows).

Back to the original question: in my experience Texture Compressor will scale everything that is TXR'ed to an equally proportioned image size. You can feed in a 1024x2048 texture bit it will resize it to either 2048x2048 or 1024x1024.
It looks like the only acceptable sizes are 128px, 256px, 512px, 1024px, 2048px.

on a side note: don, any reason why only the red volvo s60r completely lags my system down to 3 fps, while the other volvos don't effect me at all?DonaemouS wrote:Is this killing performance? ...

leo, i also read your post on ambrosiasw/faq on hosing.
both effects dont happen here.
volvo isn't slowing down (at least in a quick race, didn't try in mp) and i can host 15 games without harm (till nobody can join anymore, of course)...
so this won't help much in the meaning of "help" as i dont have any idea or solution.
but anyway....
see you on track,

Re: TXR Size: Double Width?
I really don't know, the STCC was made by slowDan, and looking at the texture, the RED one is smaller then classic green.leoantix wrote:on a side note: don, any reason why only the red volvo s60r completely lags my system down to 3 fps, while the other volvos don't effect me at all?DonaemouS wrote:Is this killing performance? ...
Perhaps Dan has better infos

Hey don't blame me, nobody mentioned STCC!DonaemouS wrote:I really don't know, the STCC was made by slowDan, and looking at the texture, the RED one is smaller then classic green.
There is nothing obvious I can think of, unless the texture is not .txr'd or compressed (or both?)
