Enhanced Textures in MP [BIG PICS]

Postby Shinobi » Tue May 31, 11 7:39 pm

Managed to use the replacement textures from www.kentie.net (http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/unatco.zip)
and D3D10 renderer (also from kenti.net) to have bump-mapped (or POM or whatever it's called) texs in DXMP.

I edited DXMP_TCF_Sniperzone to show my mate.

Here's the screenies:

Can this be done for new vision textures somehow?? For those of you who understand textures and renderers 'n' shit, there's plenty of info here: http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/page2.htm

because it would be a bigass download? not to mention the mismatches.. to remove mismatches you have to retexture the old maps and rename the new texture file? :$

If the other person doesn't have nephthys installed, it's useless.

Nephthys

I tried web downloads on my server a few years ago, it works well if they have Nephthys naturally, but enough people don't and will have to manually download.

I haven't installed it. Not once.

Think about new players, too. You can't force/expect all of the community to have it installed.

No they shouldn't. Nephthys was originally introduced to DX for servers, not clients. Of course it serves clients as well, but the main reason we wanted Nephthys was due to servers being attacked.

I know. Just think any knowledgeable DX player has dabbled with hosting at some point.

Of course not, some players don't want to host at all, and only want to play.

You can try looking into how enhanced textures work with the renderer and use New Vision resources where applicable through that method.

Should be able to cover lot of MP textures like that, at least in theory. Some textures likely have to be adjusted, but with NV one should still be able to avoid re-texing from scratch.

Just a thought, and not implying that NV magically covers absolutely all textures in DXMP.

Not quite, but I got trolled by spambot. I stand by my once-made statement that some of these spambots appear smarter than some humans. I got a little suspicious when he copied part of my sentence from that UFO thread, but didn't check if this here was copy-paste as well :(

In any case, maybe someone finds the thought useful.
