| meh, well I spus if we had a jumbot forum before, We can support a 2Dart forum. |
I thought the Jumbot, Map Reviews and Help Wanted forums were all a waste of space. I'm glad they have been removed.
I'd love to see more texture art on this site, but to be honest I don't think there is nearly enough to justify a whole forum.
IMO, waste of space is in the eye of the beholder..
if we have 5 megs worth of texture questions scattered all over the general topic, or localized within a texture artist one, its still 5 megs..
i say, if cass is willing to commit himself to it whole heartedly.. he should have it..
it is a given, HL2 will rely on textures far more than HL1 did, why not have an area dedicated to it.
plus, even tho few used the jumbot forum, it still had users, should they have been punished for being few in numbers..??
/2cents
[addsig]
my 2 cents.....personaly, the texture art area of mapping is where i need the most help......imho.... 
i could use a good resource for my s**tty little questions....i too get tired of not having the skillz to produce my own good looking work, and being limited to using everyone elses stuff, as it rarely fits my needs, and makes me settle for something not quite what i wanted-ish.....how 'bout it Leper, ole dude??
...../me leaves popcorn trail towards the yes column....
Dr Brasso... :dodgy:
[addsig]
i am betting, when grimlock gets here he will have a 1/2 page document on the pro's/con's of this idea.. wanna lay odds the "PRO" side will be a might bigger ..
/me uses brassmans dodgy smile cause he can't figure out how.. 
grrr....me waves stick at bud Orpheus......grrrr

"since were on the subject of 2Dart, any idea of a plug-in or somesuch for photoshop to view .pct files?"
Never heard of a PCT, what is it?
afaik "PICT" its some sort of image or batch of images I guess. Its what most of the files in Will Rocks texture folder are called & im interested in seeing what the actuall file type is myself.

seems to be a macintosh photo according to me PSP..
my advice korn, use PSP to convert it to a .jpg
[addsig]actually, the "pct" extension is , i believe. for mac files...and as such are supported in PS7 and PSP 7
Dr Brasso...WHERES MY DAMN SMILEY??
[addsig]Did a little research, and I found out that they're Mac's version of the BMP. A little more research and I found out what you can use to open them in Windows:

Thumbsplus version 6. Tell me if it doesn't work.

mine is version 7, and maybe i could convert them for you, but have you tryed the link cass provided?
if all else fails, we can get them to me via my suitcase 
they cannot be over 15 meg pictures..
lemme know and i will help if i can..
[addsig]nah, thas alright orph m8. There are loads and loads of em in there & itd be nice to have something to open/save them with in future. I do plan to map a little when they eventually release a level editor for WR.
im dl that proggy that cass linked to now.
[addsig]id love to mess with the textures korny....feel like giving up a link so maybe i can figure a solution?
Dr Brasso...
cant m8, im just looking at the textures that came in the Will Rock engine. http://www.will-rock.com/ I bought the game recently, Just wanted to look at the texture files so if I map for it later il understand the texture file type.
Theres probably a better proggy for them out, prolly for serious sam since its much the same engine. Great game for 20 quid.
[addsig]ahhhhhh....well, thanx anyway m8....might have to loosen up the ole wallet.... 
Doc B.....
