Texture Disoveries

[Jimbob]

I thought I'd make a topic for people to post their texture discoveries - basically any knowledge and/or textures that haven't already been posted. Hopefully we can accumulate a lot of useful information here

I'll start by sharing what I've discovered with the powerup HUD. Firstly, you can download all the textures for it here.

Basically, all the powerup icons use black for transparency. However, unlike most (if not all) other textures in the game, these do scale. That means that a 512x512 pixel image will spread across half the screen, although this can be used to make larger icons if necessary - the anchor point is at the lower-left, so the HUD won't cut off the window.

Both the HOLDER.BMP and HOLDERWP.BMP images have colour filters applied to them dependant on the currently selected powerup, so keep this in mind when texturing.
