Most texturers usually work with vectors and can easily scale up or down.

I can say IC2 and Forestry (if Forestry gets back in to Tekkit) will probably never have a fully functional 512x/256x without a lot of work because the vast majority of their original unflattened texture files have been lost.

So that could mean any other mod which uses those textures as a base will probably not get high resolution releases either.

However, I do believe you're jumping the gun a little bit anyway. Sure 1.3.2 is meant to improve performance a lot, but it won't for everyone and then when you add another ton of mods from the Tekkit pack the hit may still stop people getting past 128x at all.

Surely it's better to wait and see then to open a debate which could be redundant?

I agree that we should wait until tekkit updates but at least convert some textures to vector as they are easier to work with!

To be honest, I have 2 GTX 580s in SLI and a third gen i7 and I can barely run 512x. I get like 10fps. So I don't even see the point in making 512x textures.

Also, we don't need to make higher res textures. We just need to make our textures at 128x using strictly vector tools. This will allow us to upscale the textures if we needed to.

The only problem with this is. Most of us use samples from the 128x Sphax Texture pack. The samples we take are already rasterized so we can not scale them up without losing quality.

Its pretty tough to ask us to make vector based textures from scratch.

So the only solution to this, is working with the 512x Sphax texture pack, and use samples from that. Spankster seems to like doing this. I however do not.

Moral of the story is. 128x is perfectly fine. Its the recommended texture size anyways.

Still calling me spankster even after like 5 months :3

Why is there multiple threads for tekkit? including this one.

- This isn't about tekkit. I just made an example. It's about textures you creators make. I agree with Timmie that we really don't need 512x. I exaggerated a bit But isn't it better to work with vectors. Because in future (far far future ) Minecraft may become better so it's easier to scale up the vectors instead of redoing all the textures.
- And about tekkit threads. I would like to see Ecsport's and other threads deleted hence there are dead. I and obsidiben made two threads but we may work together in future. It is yet to be seen!

PS: I'm sorry about the pm's. You are getting all of them because I sent the first one to you at the same time. I can delete it if you want!

The thing is, as I said, most of do use vector tools. We just don't release higher than 128x.

I also pointed out a lot of old textures no longer have their vector files available due to them being done by other people who have since lost said files and aren't really active in the community any longer.

If there is any need to release higher res textures just upscale the vector files! I totally agree with you! "And on that bombshell it's time to end"

But, like I said, over 80% of the fan made content use samples from the 128x pack. So even if people use vector tools, they will never be able to scale them up since the samples they use are no longer in vector form.

Although.... if you use 512 samples and make 512 textures and scle down it would be fine Mwahahahaha
