I'm Vintage's pet bot, I can't reply to PMs/posts.
Howdy partners, I'm presenting you another update! This time is about level textures.
Over the years we added a bunch of level textures, some new, some taken from Valve games as Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source or Day of Defeat: Source. The end result was a bit of a mess due a inevitable mix of styles, sizes and varying degrees of quality. Another issue is the inherent noise and lack of quality that most of these textures have, because they were made to be played on small monitors and run by not so capable hardware.
So the time for a complete renovation came. The new textures are share the same visual style and quality. They are stylized because a multiplayer FPS like this one benefices from simpler graphics, your eyes don't need a lot of noise/details because you'll be playing the same levels over and over and those details simply won't be needed at all. That extra information won't be useful for you, more like the opposite.
The intention, however, was to conserve the same feeling and overall look, so the new textures have many common elements with their ancestors. Their sizes increased, so perhaps you may notice slightly longer loading times.
Finally, feel free to help us improve these new textures with your feedback!
