Yes but our textures are 1024*1024 big and the models lagg me out
BTW: 256*256 looks shit but i get my full fps. There need to be a func for textures to see how far they are away from camera. Would be very amazing. Than I just could use good textures when camera is in front of them. Other wise the 256*256.

use dds textures. With Gimp and a dds plugin you can export compressed dds textures which can contain mipmaps and they will take less memory.

But the quality will be?
And what type of dds i need?
DXTS1 or what?

You won't notice a quality loss. Use DXT3 when you are using textures with alpha channel, use DXT1 otherwise

PainKiller:
If you use DDS textures, how is its LOD processed? As in, how does it know which mipmap to use?

Manually by shader? Auto by hardware? AckNex Engine?


If there is no "clear" answer, can you feed my some links or useful search-terminology
so I can read up on it myself? I cant seem to find any explainations 'simple'
enough for me to grasp its concepts...

Im trying to build a scripted LOD system (I only got A8 commercial), and I need
to know/figure a way to implement mipmaps, as I dont ATM...

Thanks dude...

LOD models also work on commercial edition, you just have to name your models like this: enemy_0.mdl, enemy_1.mdl, enemy_2.mdl, were _0 is the main model and _1 and _2 are the lod models.

Mipmaps are handled automatically by the engine when you use mipmapped textures, you can choose how its done through d3d_mipmapping http://www.conitec.net/beta/ad3d_mipmapping.htm

O...K....

But I THOUGHT that LOD was a pro-only function...
Or is that just MED LOD-ing is pro only?

[EDIT] Dont worry, I see LOD is included in A8 Commercial.
I just gotta learn how to use it...
Thanks dude.

Hi,
Im just working on a Zombie Shooter (what else)

I have some problem with terrains, but I try to finish this project.

I dont have pictures yet. Just wanted to anounce it.
