High Resolution Flats?

[Kalaron]

I just noticed something that would be very useful to anyone who uses high resolution flats for their levels.

Repeatedly converting a flat in XWE (Image -> Save as Doom Flat) until XWE displays it as text allows you to use an image at any resolution for a flat in SRB2.

Anyone ever noticed that?

Woah! What? Got any pictures or wads? That sounds pretty awesome.

As a matter of fact I do:

Sorry I don't have I good image hoster...

Yeah, I know the GFZGRASS doesn't fit in with the picture...

DashFox, get a photobucket account. :/

That's how you normally do floors in XWE. :V

 

[Kalaron]

It's just that the wiki and everyone else seems to say that all srb2 can handle is 256x256, I'm just saying you can save an image as a Doom flat multiple times and use any resolution without the flat distorting.

SRB2 supports floor/ceiling textures from 32x32 to 2048x2048.

2048x2048? o.o

I couldn't imagine why anyone would need a flat that huge.

2048x2048? o.o

I couldn't imagine why anyone would need a flat that huge.

Pictures like the one in Zim's Base.

Those are WALL textures, not flats.

I know. You can do the same thing with a floor. I was giving an example.

 

[xxBeanGirl420xx]

A picture on the floor (that size) isn't much of a use, Chaos. The only way you could view it properly is by being of a height above the floor, looking downard (either with mouselook, or at a distance far enough to see it without it). A wall, however, is blatant.

 

[Sik]

They just implemented a size that could be large enough for everybody. That's all.

Actually, I had trouble with a floor texture before, the alignment was off, and it was a 256 x 256 flat. It was for that WadAuthor level I made.
