CS Textures

[AirAlex]

I recently change my texture size from 256 to 2048 and i must say WOW... It feels like i'm playing a whole new game. But i'm curious... What's the optimal setting for texture size? What's the largest I should set it?

The largest the textures for the players come in at 512x512. Its a minor hit in performance since 1.0, but it does make the game look much better. I don't know the maximum texture size that the Half-Life/Quake2 engine supports, but I'm sure it isn't too high since the engine is a bit dates (still lookin' good though!).

512x512 is the limit for the HL engine.

oh ok cool.. guess i'll set it to 512x512 then

Uhm, how do you set Cs to use 512x512 textures? I thought they were automatically enabled in the new patches.

EvilDonnyBoy, some people have had issues where the patch doesn't change the setting gl_max_size to 512, and leaves it at the old 256.
