edit:nope i was wrong it just was all wonky and showed them uninstalled there still there.

Nope, not until all your mods are belong to SSDK 2013.

[CaptainAhab]

Oh, perfect. I'll update it later when I have the time.

Is there a chance some devs will get together to port FF over to the new SDK in the future? "Mac support," believe it or not, would attract a ton of Mac gamers (not many games to choose from, let's be honest).

There's nothing to update. :P

That'd be neato, but It's not like it'd really change anything, unless we can get some one to make some new models and textures and stuff.

Well I feel dumb.

bad FDA no being a Debby downer

tbh though even if we just enhacned the textures i think it would do alot of improvement. (same style more pixels )

I think a lot of this could happen now if someone who enjoyed messing around in photoshop (& some normal mapping software) would want to work on them...

[WiFiDi]

Just took 4 smart filters in photoshop (so easily applied to other textures then with tweaks)
Scaled down in the .vmt file so you don't have to recompile maps and adjust alignment.
Might need to be careful to avoid changing the colour/brightness though


Just a proof of concept

Some textures would look better high res than others.

Anyway, to me it doesn't really affect it all that much, you only notice poor textures when they're in your face / set to x1 in Hammer.

:P

EDIT: While making the textures to be used in my next batch of maps, I just found out the VTF format makes textures slightly darker, and adds a slight amount of green to them... Strange.

May just be the plugin I'm using with GIMP.

HTML 666666 turns to 606460 :P

BTW, this is totally unrelated to anything.

Now we need a good modeler and animator. Because honestly I don't really see much of a point unless we can draw in more players. And I don't think anyone's just going to jump at FF because suddenly it's on the '13 sdk.

I'd really like to see the visuals improved. Especially because FF has the absolute dullest visuals out of all fortress games. TFC and TF2 are both very flashy. In FF you can do all the same stuff, but it's conveyed in a very dull way.
