Artwork replacement thread

[Sandro]

thanks also for the higher res textures, we will apply them once Sandros patch is working.

Until patch is finished, you can mass rescale textures by using the Python script. It is located at src/tools/scripts/map_scale_textures.py

Code: [Select]

cd where_ufoai_is/src/tools/scripts/
python map_scale_textures.py ../../../base/maps -r texture_name scalex scaley
Will rescale ALL occurences of texture_name in base/maps/...../*.map

For example, if you replaced 128x128 tex_buildings/floor024 by 512x512, call it like this:

Code: [Select]

cd where_ufoai_is/src/tools/scripts/
python map_scale_textures.py ../../../base/maps -r  tex_buildings/floor024 0.25 0.25

Great tool, but VERY powerful

Every mapper should be aware that latest work on their maps should be comitted before the big replacement party begins.

Also we should not forget to change the prefabs also & it should be somehow coordinated who uses this tool on which texture.

Otherwise many scaling bugs can happen, if not all of the maps are processed at once when a texture's resolution gets upgraded.

Ok, this isn't a drop in replacement. It's higher resolution, as well as different size.

Original: 128x80px
New: 512x256px

I made it originally 410x256 then stretched it, so it should work out once the horizontal is fixed.

These need resized, so posting here to let MCR/mattn do the sandros shuffle.

(They are in the DB as CC 2.5... which isn't DFSG compatible)

really need to figure out how to push a change with licenses....

The dirt had been based on CC2.5, which was bad. Apparently slipped through before I found out they were bad and removed the CC2.5 and older things I submitted.

... and dirt to go with it...

Now, this was another non-power-2 texture.
Original was 160x128. The new one was made at 320x256 and then stretched to 512x256, so will look right when applied to the object correctly.

With this, and the previous applied, it'll make all known-license images compatible. Still have the unknown licenses to fix.

Now that I know about PNG optimization, they will be getting optimized.

i have not yet applied the container textures - all the other are applied already - thanks again

the container textures are used quite often and this might take some time to replace them with the higher res versions.

The containers still miss normalmaps, all other textures to this point, which are reasonable, have been replaced with their respective hq versions & rescaled on all maps and prefabs in master.

Alas, PNG optimizer you are using is not the best one:

Code: [Select]

>pngout.exe /f5 complex004.png complex004_.png
 In:   16436 bytes               complex004.png /c2 /f5
Out:   13247 bytes               complex004_.png /c2 /f5
Chg:   -3189 bytes ( 80% of original)

>pngout.exe /f5 dirt002_high.png dirt002_high_.png
 In:  390111 bytes               dirt002_high.png /c2 /f5
Out:  372172 bytes               dirt002_high_.png /c2 /f5
Chg:  -17939 bytes ( 95% of original)

You really should consider trying the pngout -- it's absolutely free, the only drawback is it being a command line tool.

PS: Thanks for the texture work!

[FWishbringer]

Ok, switched to PNGOut.... hopefully I have the 'right' one now.

Created originally as 640x512 then downscaled to 512^2, so they should look right in game, once its updated for the higher resolution. All were non-power-2 previously, so went higher res when I updated, since they are going to need changed anyway.

You can put these as GPLv2 or later

The rest of them

I'm a bit out of touch these days, but wanted to say thanks FWishbringer. Good to see some more GPL replacements getting done.
