For some reason, the small waterfall outside the village in Glathriel Village part 1 (glathriel1.unr) of RTNP does not show up using these high-res textures.  I'm not referring to the first waterfall in the cave, but the second waterfall outside the village.  Any idea why this is?  I've only tested it in UnrealTournament.

Well, for now I can change the waterfall to translucent.  I hope it's eventually fixed!

Thx for this DieHard. I'll be trying it out and will give feedback.

Just so I'm clear on the steps for installing the best graphics...

I should download all files here:
http://www.uttexture.com/UT/Website/Downloads/Textures/ExtremeEnd/StockUT/UTExtr...

as well as 2ndCDTextures.zip as directed from http://www.uttexture.com/UT/Website/Articles/PlayingUT/Tweaking/S3TCInstallation...

I did not install the 2nd CD as directed. I understand this will work on most servers without the sliding character bug and crashes. I backed up my old stock texture folder incase some servers do give me problems. Will keep you posted

Best of health,

Again sorry for the late reply, but you all now the story.


To Shaad:

There is a difference between the server and you as a player. If you do run a server for UT you have to follow the instructions of this page:

http://www.uttexture.com/UT/Website/Articles/Servers/Tweaking/S3TCServerPackages...


The purpose is to prevent the skating/frozen player glitch which happens if you install the S3TC textures from the 2nd CD or the Net textures (reduced 'server only' textures) on your server(s) . Only install the normal textures that came with the first CD. Or download the files from that page and you will safe.


The S3TC textures are NOT required for the severs because S3TC happens on the client side and NOT on the server side and is therefore pointless to install and will only lead to problems for S3TC players. So basically forget about S3TC for servers.


And since S3TC works purely on the client side(you as a player who wants to join a server, or play alone at home as single player) you have to install the S3TC textures.


It all depends how powerful your computer is and how large you video card is. Needs to be said, any computer can run the Extreme textures on a relative new computer, and if not switch to High End.

If you can play with Extreme End, you indeed have to download ALL files from this page:

http://www.uttexture.com/UT/Website/Downloads/Textures/ExtremeEnd/StockUT/UTExtr...

Including the missing High End textures. The missing High End textures fill in the gap from the not yet made Extreme End textures. So part will be Extreme End and part will be High End(until they are also updated)


To Deu sex:

Yes, at the end all textures will be updated, except the procedural textures(unless a fix is being made, but unlikely it ever happens)

At the moment the project is at a stand still for various reasons, but i will continue as soon as possible. At the moment i am working on a project that prevents me from working on the S3TC textures, but as soon as it is possible i will continue. I love to work on the textures and miss it allot. I will always keep working on the S3TC textures till the work is done, period. So no worries there

Yeah, that could work theoretically.....

But as it is the mergertool switches the low resolution textures for the high res DDS version and if you have an animation, you could add the first texture but not the following textures.


So you are left with an animation that has one frame :| Beside that, the procedural textures have never the same animation and work on random, so the result has a more static look, which would be a shame to look at.


But on itself its a sound idea , but undoable....
