how to remove mipmaps?

How can I remove the mipmaps of a texture? I would like to play a video on a texture and mipmaps cause problems then.

In the new public beta even ent_morphskin() seems to automatically create mipmaps. Disabling mipmaps for an internal model texture in MED also doesn´t seem to work anymore.

A counterpart of bmap_to_mipmap() would be nice if this isn´t possible somehow already.

how about someting like this ... d3d_mipmapping = 0;

I like mipmapping! Just not for video textures since the video will vanish once the mipmap stages get visible.

For my project it´s very important that videos play correctly so I hope there is a way to do this.

Isn´t JCL around this week? I really can´t find a way to get rid of mipmaps in 7.6. Can anyone help me?

Use the DDS texture without mipmapping, or pm me and I convert for you.

I think JCL is away for a week or so. Not 100% sure though.

Good idea, rojart! But I tried it (DDS with 888 rgb format, no mipmaps) and in the engine there still are mipmaps!

I need a bmap_removemipmaps() function!

Hmm, I´m not sure that this is the right format for the texture, but when you have alpha channel, then try better with these formats: DXT3 ARGB 8 bpp explicit alpha or DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp interpolated alpha.

I don´t think videos can be played on compressed textures. That´s why I chose 888 RGB.

However, there must be something new in 7.6 which automatically creates mipmaps for everything. In 7.5 I could disable mipmaps for internal model textures and it worked. Not anymore...

miss JCL

have a look at mip_levels, the new var

Isn´t this a global setting? I don´t want to disable mipmapping completely.

you can make a plane model, and disable mipmaps on it's skin and use it's skin to render your video?

(you can remove mipmaps by unchecking mipmaps on skin settings.)

may work?

This worked in 7.5 but strangely not anymore in 7.6.

may be a bug.

Yes, you´re right,I forgot that compressed dds does not work with mipmaps.
But for flat entities alternatively you can change the distance for mipmap textures with mip_flat function.

Here you will find an example with mip_flat = 10.

have you thought about setting d3d_mipmapping to zero in a render event, resetting it afterwards?

As far as I know setting d3d_mipmapping only works at engine startup but because of your suggestion I had the idea of simply setting MipFilter[0] = none; in a material. Darn, why didn´t I think of that earlier.

that would do the job, definately...
