Shoddy Texture

[fuhrer]

ok why does my texture look like this in radiant...



and this in moh.....

[lizardkid]

settings, that blur is caused by lower settings, an anti-aliasing thing to imprive performance

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

yes.. jack up your MOHAA settings so itll look better...

[lizardkid]

oh, and i have high-speed DSL, so the pics dont bother me, but some people have smaller monitors or 56K (or 28.8K ) so resize a lil please

[fuhrer]

yeah sorry always forget about resizing pics, the rest of the textures look fine with low settings, how do i make the custom one look the same?

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

make it jpg instead of tga? i dunno

[At0miC]

tga is a better quality then jpg

But it weighs much less.

If you have a texture with much details then tga is the best choice. Yes a jpg weighs much less but that's only file size. A jpg texture with the same dimensions as a tga texture takes up just as much space in memory.
If you scale a texture down in Radiant the pixels become smaller which makes the texture look sharper. That's one option. However you can also add "nopicmip" to the shader. This will prevent a texture from being affected by the r_picmip setting.

(example:)
textures/custom/texture
{
surfaceparm metal
nopicmip
{
map textures/custom/texture.tga
rgbGen identity
depthWrite
}
{
map $lightmap
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
rgbGen identity
depthFunc equal
}
}
