Patchers: Why 128x?
Posted: 03 Apr 2019, 05:04
Hello, I've recently begun diving into the patching world. After a help centre forum search, I found nothing quite like this, so I find it justified to make a new topic.
I found a few mods that interest me in the WIP boards and downloaded their highest resolution files to see what's missing with the intention of contributing in the near future.. I notice that quite a few mods only go for 128x at maximum size. I ask the long-standing patchers: why is this? I want to offer as high as 512x (to match the largest PureBDCraft resolution for users with this need) in my releases if possible, but I also want to be consistent when contributing to projects with their established maximum resolution. Is this a matter of file hosting space? Issues downsizing?
