T2 MX files: Question

[Scaled_One offline]

These files have been avalible for years. So....has anyone tried taking the stock t2 player models/objects and, you know, make them look better? i"m not even sure if its possible to reshape the model without breaking compatability with the skins, but has it even been attempted? Its been a good three or four years since I've noticed the files floating around and to my knowledge(which is rather poor) I've not seen anything that tries using them.

there was a skin pack which had all the base player models updated with alot high resolution and better looking textures, i have it somewhere...

Hmm. these skins better than the stock 512 skins that came on the t2 cd?

I'd be interested in those higher-res skins. I've been too lazy to look around for anything like that. I suggested making higher-res models a while back, but I think there would be a problem with CRC checking. It couldn't just be a "high polygon model pack," it would have to be a seperate addon mod.

it is a seperate pack of skins and needs a seperate installer

i will sart lookign thru my junk for it i had it on oen of my T2 installs...

i think i found it but cant upload it here since it is 20 mb or so

For refference what's CRC checking? And somehow i figured it wouldn't be as simple as simply upping the number of polygons each model has(really the only models that I have a problem with are the playerobjects(the player models, weapons, ect) the crates and turrets look fine to me.

If its the thing that fileplanet hosts then it's essentially just the high res skins renamed so that they'll be used reguardless of wether the 'high res' switch is flipped or not.

Well I dont even think the player models are optimized. because when you load them up in 3ds max, you notice that nothing is really connected, the guy is all in peices and all the polys that you cant see are being rendered But i guess it has to be like that to make debris.

[Scaled_One offline]

Always thought they despawned the player and then spawned the appropriate set of debris(for light, medium, heavy, bioderm). Then again this isn't my subject.

the high res skins are detailed 10254x768 size or something ((i think fileplanet or something still has it sicne my webserver si still all forked up))

the models themselves arent changed the just the player skins are vastly improved

[Scaled_One offline]

No, the fileplanet version looks to me like the 512x512 skins renamed to be used instead of the 256x256 skins.

[kittenstomper2 offline]

yeah thats most likely right

just the original skins blown up and made nonblurry

[Hazor offline]

The 512x512 skins come with the game. :s There's a button to enable them somewhere in the options tabs.
