Half-Life SDK/Textures: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:02, 10 June 2023

Todo:

Decals
Detail Textures
AllocBlock optimization (max textures; dictated by lightmaps, which are always 16 texels per luxel, regardless of texture scale
"Chrome" textures
func_wall (actually required for certain texture rendermodes)
Brush entity rendermodes, WAD texture characters, MDL texture flags

Note:Some limitations to keep in mind:

While textures do not need to be powers of two, they usually must be multiples of 16.
- MDL textures can be multiples of 8, but dimensions that aren't multiples of 16 can sometimes be buggy. 8x8 textures can be used for single-color model "materials", but it's otherwise better to stick to multiples of 16.
Textures can be a maximum resolution of 512x512 in the OpenGL renderer.
- The software renderer is limited to 256x256, but it is buggy and can usually be disregarded.
- Sven Co-op can use textures up to 1024x1024. AllocBlock has been raised from 64 to 512 to compensate.
