Ah, has it been two-and-a-half years already? How time flies when you are waiting for some 2048x2048 pictures. |

If you went overboard back when you said you had the high res textures, just say so. I think you can admit you don't have them instead of beating around the bush all the time.
Don't get me wrong, all those shader- and effects-updates are nice and all, but the textures do still look bad - especially the normal maps. If you have them, please put them in the client, if you don't have them, just say so. |

Alright then. I've been waiting for 3 years, I think I can wait another 3. 
Thanks, by the way, for being so communicative, that's a rare quality these days. |

From what I have seen so far, the client downloads the lower quality textures first (unless you tell it to download everything), so you can start playing, and then downloads the high(er) res stuff later. It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't get half-way decent textures with triexporter after they did that cache patch thingamajig. I had textures for most subcaps, but all supers and titans were missing, so I assume they get downloaded as you encounter the ships that use them. |

Very true.
Can we make 200 pages before the end of 2016? |

What?! I'm dangerously close to shooting a monument here! |

Well, not that close. But the message hasn't gotten through yet, so we have some posting to do. |

Some Dev saying it can't be done doesn't necessarily mean it can't be done. Our own devs constantly keep telling me stuff just won't work, until they finally cave in and make it work. You are just believing that because...?
The one thing that does seem plausible to me is that it wouldn't make all that big a difference, and they could improve the visuals much more by doing other things. However, for some things like the Skybox and some Capitals (looked at the phoenix recently?) no amount of shenanigans will be enough. No amount of shader magic and fancy compression will be able to hide the fact that you are stretching a small texture too far. |

[ insert crickets sounds here] I've even asked for a comment in this thread and others to try to see if tessellation was ever on any distant game plan for CCP or if it was just a fancy demo to provide content to the fan fest. CPP ... is tessellation on any Eve online road map ? tessellation + higher res maps = 
I think I remember a comment saying that they scratched that. Don't know where that was, though, and if it's true. But I wouldn't hold my breath at least. |

mkint wrote:Tip for everyone still posting in this thread... at the top of this screen there's a blue dev post button. It'll take you to the first one. Then click the blue dev tag in their portrait. Click through all of them until you get to the last one and actually understand why this thread is obsolete. (tl;dr because EVE is pretty much unique in gaming, high res texture packs won't work for EVE. They're going to have to invent a brand new technology from scratch, which is a multi year project they are working on.)
I'm not good with just believing things, especially if it's a dev saying that something won't work. But even if they would have to reinvent the wheel and it would take years - so what? Everything with CCP is a multi year project for some reason, and those "projects" get forgotten more often than not. Let's make sure they don't forget. |
