bf1 race on KY GP Long

1.25MB, 24x Antialising, 1680x1050 widescreen High Definition, Jpeg File type (unfortunetly the PNG lossless image i took was 3.95MB )

nice job phillip

a g25 on 900 would be fun for that lol, youd need to position it so the wheel was flat level with the desk rather than tilted towards you tho

The origonal was made by my team mate Pmd9409 and allso it was wrong to steal it for the WWD drift server in the first place without making a copy of it..

yes i know, id most cirtanly pay £1 for 2048 textures infact id pay £1 for 1000 and £2 for 2000 if they was 2048, but i dont see the point for 1024 because 1024 is low in some peoples cases, im sure im not the only one who runs a high resolution

Quote from Jakg :

how is a skin that is almost the whole resolution of your monitor "low res"

what the? i use 2560x1600 resolution how is 1024 allmost the size? you insain?

took 20 mins was bored a few days ago nothin special, the skin is reduced from 4096 to 2048 btw

Quote from keithano :

Sorry, but what's the point for blowing up a skin that is not originally created in 4096x4096? The file size is different, and also blowing up to 4096x4096 for this skin is just still crap. For Hi-Res skin ( I mean 4096 in this case), the image should be much more clearer, and thus using up much more space than just 566kb.

Cmon, I am a photographer, and I deal with Photoshop everyday. I think I have enough knowledge in terms of the related proportion of resolution size to file size.

what the heck man, i said i blew it up for a size example the file size not the quality.

read first.

and yes i know im a graphics designer so yes i do know how it works

attached a file,

4096x4096 and its 566kb

used the skin MRT_Repsol_Hayden and blew it up to 4096x4096 for a quick example that resolution doesnt nessasery mean huge file size.

it could be compressed 50 times more to even half the size without loosing 1 pixel of image quality from what it currently is if you have the right tools.

ok im offline

Quote from Ian.H :

Reflection control
Transparency control

aye true, iv been working with photoshop since as long as i can remember,


but wont this allso lead to people having see through cars if they just put transparency up full then people would ram them and then the poor soul's who hit the see through car would be blamed,

or worse a see through car ramming every one in T1

Quote from geeman1 :

Because then the devs would have no control over the skins. People could upload anything like pornographic images and such.

a ingame button on the connection list to report the skin by the user then dev's check it out then the account may be banned for the unnacceptable image?

then why doesnt LFS use a optional thing so that you can host skins via your own internet space (if you Want to) so you can host your own super huge skins and are visable on lfs if people got there settings to see skins on super high res? bit like uploading a image to imageshack then doing a forum [img] code so you can see it on the forums.


O.o ok that sounded pretty good to me tbh lol

Quote from Btoryo :

Omg! Your only thinking for yourself! I CAN'T run things like that, I get an average of 18 FPS, I know "Go Upgrade!" well I can't I don't have enough money I'm in 7th grade and have other things to spend my money on. So why don't you just shut your selfish mouth and stop complaining! LFS is still in development so it WILL get better when they're ready.

i know, which i why i SAID. there should be high settings for us high end users.

and yet all the performance of the current settings as a Low setting which you and alot of others would choose obviously

Quote from Boris Lozac :

And don't you think that 32 players wearing 4096x4096 skins would cause some serious lagging?

not one unsmoothe lag bump or anything for me.


and yeh yeh i kno im getting flamed here but im not botherd im just saying what i think im entitled to that.

Quote from geeman1 :

Did you read my post? Bandwith is the problem here. More higher res skins need more bandwidth and the devs have to pay for that bandwidth. Even if most players could run the game with 2048 skins, the devs would still need 16 times more money! Think about it!

not just skins, textures in general. lfs should have Low=512 setting, medium=1024 setting, high=2048 setting...

Quote from MAGGOT :

There is not one single game on the market that comes stock with 2048

look harder

Quote from geeman1 :

This isn't about performance, it's about bandwidth.

i know im not botherd about peformance, i have enough of it (and im sure a few people do too) which is why theres room for 4x more resolution of all the textures on lfs (IE 2048-4096) as a HIGH setting.

if there was a high setting doesnt mean that you have to use it if you get low fps on a low end pc, which is why there should be still the settings there is now as a Low setting option.

Quote from Tweaker :

LFS still runs on DirectX 8.0, we don't have shaders and all that stuff you want your PC to have sex with, we can't get any better then this for the sake of performance.

i know, for DX 8 it looks good IF you put 2048/4096 textures on it.

but i know for low end users that would bog there pc like a brick in quicksand but for us high end users, i think there should be a high setting aswell as low and medium for low users.

im not complaining, im just saying.

i dont see why such a great game should be more built towards low end pc's that arent built to play games in the first place, rather than higher textures for the game so pc's that are built for games, it looks better.

yes its good that the game Can play on low pc's but i think now the dev's should work towards higher graphics settings aswell As low settings rather than still playing around at low resolutions (512/1024 textures)

and start on 2048 etc if you understand.

cause most games have more graphics settings which you simply choose high, medium, or low.
this doesnt tho, and i really think now theres low and medium the devs should work on higher than there currently is

Quote from Tweaker :

If you want 2048, or even 4096, good luck finding someone that made a skin in that res (not to mention they are 1.5mb or higher). Try a full grid of 4096 skins :rolleyes:. LFS is pretty crude when it comes to texture quality on the cars, deal with it. If you think you have a magic wand and can suddenly bring about super duper high res skins then do it yourself. Otherwise.... yeah you know.

i am a skinner and i make textures.

iv used 20 AI's using my 4096 resolution skin on the grid and still had 100+ fps still playable game verry smoothe and fps stayed above 100 at all times.

because in reality lfs isnt "high quality" shadder and effects game like most so i dont get why people complain about "oh iv got no FPS", well its obviouse they wont if they dont spend a few bob and get a half decent pc, because there trying to run a game on a low end pc which actually works, if they tryed running a high image quality game on the same pc it would kill it

i dno why the need for the DDS is anyway. jpeg is fine.

i think 512 should be low (for low end users)

1024 medium (for people who have average pcs)

and 2048 high (for me and a few other people with monster pcs)


i dont get what all the new conversion thing and rubbish is helping...


it should be 1 pound for 2048 textures and 1024 and 512 should be free cause there low >.<

maybe if you had a nvidia 4 series card you would think 1024 is high resolution..

but this is 2007 man

Quote from Tweaker :

2048 is just not suitable for 30+ cars in LFS. Best for screenshots, movies, renders, etc... not racing.

are you seriouse? ROFL

2048 is resonable resolution 4096 is high resolution

1 pound for yet still low resolution textures.

1024x1024 is low resolution... i have 30,000 skins in my skin_x folder and if i wanted them all HighER it would cost 15 pounds, but yet they will still be low resolution.

i could understand if they was 2048x2048 (which in my case is still low resolution) but there not so i would be paying 15 pounds for them still being low.

i know they was low be for and it wont kill me using them low still but i run 2560x1600 resolution and there seems to be no graphical updates for higher resolution stuff for us high end users.

not every one has low resolution and old pc's you know.
