Ques: Load Screen Pictures

[ToadTadWater]

Maybe it is my install, but why are the load screen Pictures soooo low resolution?

(well I think that is a building or a monster, can't tell which )

 

I would have thought that there would be some scaling (resizing) of an appropriate base resolution picture/photo mechanism in the Doom 3 engine.

 

Being a photography nut, I would love to see these load screens (most appear to be quite interesting but so low rez I do not try to discern them) in a reasonable resolution, say 720x1280 or maybe 1440x90 or something which is either 16:9/10 or something 4:3 that could be stretched to 16:10 for us wider screen users.

 

Just wondering!

 

Thanks for all the great FM's, enjoy them ALL !!!!!!!!

Not sure if it's absolutely possible. The title loader in Heart of Lone Salvation is 1680 x 1050. If I compare it by playing in 800 x 600 and then in 1680 x 1050 it is significantly superior too 800 x 600 but if I view the original image in a picture viewer on the Windows desktop at 1680 x 1050 then it is noticeably sharper and smoother still. I don't know how efficient the doom rescaling works or if I've set it up by the best method.

If it's not saved as a power of 2, D3 will resize it on the fly, which tends to make it blurry.

Ah that may be it. I'm reluctant to go to 2048 x 2048 but I'll try it with a transparent panel at the bottom just to see.
