texturally frustrated /o\

i use GP4Master.
tex workshop
i click 'Load TEX-File'
i tried one from bojans 03 arrows, erwins 03 jag, vipers latest ferrari and others.
they are all 512x512 and 341 kb (349,012)
then i 'replace selected gile'
and choose my 512x512 32 bit tga (filesize 1025kb = 1,048,620)
***it now looks like the right hand pic below***
then i 'downsample textures' and 'save tex file'

thinking everything ok i load the one i just saved and
***it looks like the lleft hand pic below.***

i also tried not downsampling, and tried save as.


(they have been double sized in ps so you can see clear, but the idea is the right side is clear and looks like the tga i made, while the left has noise, artefacts, pixelisation, and all sorts of other things)


thers a free itc mod to anyone who helps me solve this bastard of a problem.

have bad quality then

But you can't solve this, it's texture format which is like that...and the worst artefacts are on red color, I don't know why.

send me the tex file il have a look into it

Yeah I have those artefacts on all my textures, although it's not so bad if you have 1024x1024 textures and not much red colors.

Bojan Tarticchio

looks like i'll just have to cope.
its not noticeable at 1024, and at 512 its only this combo of black/white/red that causes major problems.
not too bad in game tho.

but this shows viper's toyota, bojan's arrows and mine, so they all have it.




perhaps madman can make the game use tga or bmp? bigger but nicer
