Blurb some nice textures!

Detailed description

This textureset ive found after a long search to a free texturepack, with a license thats proper and fitting to cube engine. There are a lot of textures that just fit each other, as long as you know how to use them.
Some of them could be an option to use them for a mapmodel (like some constructive textures), because of the black in it (im not sure if any game on cube engine supports some feature that its able you can still look trough the texture, while the other part thats not black or white, just is sightable. correct me when im wrong).

i hope the textures get included into any release, because some of the textures really deserve it.

p.s. when using, please read the readme first!

improvements:
9 Juli 2010,
Just did the same as with the dsi textures. they really are looking great now :D!
12 Juli 2010,
Removed useless identical textures. decreased filesize because of that. I know some of the textures still could share the same normal map or height map, but some of them arent that similar as they look like.

The textures are great. I'm sure I've seen them in some other game.. or two.
I can't wait to use them, they look like the kind of thing I've been needing for a while.

like the readme is revealing a bit, some of the textures are based on quake 3 arena textures (like the constructive textures).

-You may not use these textures as base for your own.

A license info can i made coloured glow, modify shaders settings (making a new package.cfg), make height-map (or other kind of auxiliary textures) from your textures, change the colours...? Or not?

Suicizer | 2010-07-07 06:46

without yves allaire's and my permission, no (this doesnt counts for making a new package.cfg, even tough i wouldnt see why you would like to do that :S)...
but why would you when there are already added height and normal maps?
i would actually ask you, with wich (free and easy to use when never have used) program, can i make glowmaps? or does anyone here knows a way how to get that illusion so the texture looks ingame deeper or just the opposite (like the lunaran textures or "e7bigwall" in the "evil_textures")?

thanks already for comment...

I think you can just load the diffuse texture itself as the glowmap and get a reasonable result.

As for the depth: for a flat(tish) surface, a heightmap should be sufficient. (Most textures come with bump/normalmaps, but I'm not sure what advantages a normalmap has over plain heightmap, aside from more dimensions, which I'm not sure why you'd need.)
Anyway, you can do a Google image search for "heightmap" to see what they look like. Basically, lighter areas are raised. (See also the Wikipedia article on heightmaps.)

As for generating software, I have no idea. I think artists usually either paint their own or bake them from a 3D mesh.

Ok, thanks.

For glowmap use a diffuse texture of the glow only. What does not have to glow is black the rest (the glow of curse) have some RGB value.

I would like to make a new pakages to change settings of the textures like rotate/scale, or mad (to colourize them), or settings different specular/normal/glow/punseglow map/value.

I would like to modify some textures to have different colour of some things and more sign (like weapon ones or team based).

I like this textures, nice work.

Suicizer | 2010-07-08 15:46

very nice idea, i agree, the settings of the textures arent proper yet (i would like to change some settings too, even tough i dont know how all texture commands work and with wich purpose. of course ive check most of them out on sauerbraten.org...)
i should have made a "text map

Drekow | 2010-07-12 18:15

OK if i play with something and end in some kind of interesting result i will inform you about what i have done. So you can add it in the relase or not.

But i'm not sure if I found time to "play" with, not for the quality wich is excellent but simply because i have to chosse in which project i nrrd to concentrate, and if i want to do a map with this texturepack...

I hope somebody found a way to spin the fan...

Suicizer | 2010-07-12 22:07

ok, thanks drekow, ill be looking forward to get something :)!

For those who want all the works this guy did. Then be sure to check out his site. You can see the license stuff at the FAQ section. It's better than the sepperate nodes here on qaud.

im still not done with adding all normal and heightmaps to all texture packs (even tough i do got permission for all of them). i dont got that much time at the moment to do it that quick as people ask :S.

i finaly found and add added right after knowing, to get "the illusion of textures", into those textures! go check out yourself!

i small question to everyone on quadro, does anyone knows how you can make the "e6metalfanblade" texture, spin around by just a texture command (or script)?

SheeEttin | 2010-07-12 19:25

I don't think you can spin textures (unless you want to divide it into quarters and scroll each one, but that'd look bad).
You could make a simple model (a plane with that texture) and spin that... You'd need to convert the black to alpha, though. (Probably do the same with the vent cover if you want it transparent too... I don't think Cube 2 supports selective alpha in textures.)

Oh, and you could easily do without about a third of the images... A lot of diffuse textures and specular maps are visually identical (i.e. you can load the diffuse texture as the specmap with little or no difference). Go ahead and do a side-by-side comparison if you don't believe me.

Suicizer | 2010-07-12 22:03

true, i could take some more textures out the pack just because they are similair or just identical (as example, some of the evil6 heightmaps compared to the original textures). this probabaly will be the next update.

and the texture pack is updated!
useless textures removed!
