Rex R Member	posted January 31, 2003 01:16 PM have you looked in the 'art' folder (and it's subfolders) yet? as for a definition; textures are bmp files that most paint programs can generate. they are classed as textures and sprites. sprites and flags may have up to 256 colors and should be in 8bit format. textures can have up to 16 million (24bit) colors. textures for tanks may be up to 512 x 512 pixels in size, those for weapons should be no larger than 256 x 256.
