<div class="IPBDescription">read on</div> Well as far as i read the 4mb texture limit is only apliable for software mode.
But since software mode was banned due to exploits from ns.
Wouldn´t it be possible to use more than 4mb of textures in maps.

    So it's ok to use more than 4MB right? Cauz I just finished my ready room and it says 2.5MB of textures used. For the rest of the map, I'll use the same textures that I used for the ready room with only few new textures.

    For official maps the standard is 4mb. It's okay to exceed this since most people that still play Half-Life have graphic cards that have atleast 16mb of onboard memory.

    using lots of those 256x256 textures will increase the count(of course) and especially if you scale up textures.

    Scaling up or down textures does not affect texture memory. If you use a texture that you've already used before, it's not added to texture memory. Also, VHE tells you the incorrect number. If you want to find out your texdata, look at your log (CSG).

    Just from the link

    Why is there a 4 MB texture limit?
    The limit exists so that people using older cards with less memory can still play the game, and is not related to software support.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    To be official, your going to need to stay at 4mb (or damn close). Also, some people reported problems when going above 4mb (1 or 2, and random ones)
