TexMex has no gamma correction on its color quantization algorithm. Due to this, it can preserve some image details that gets lost when using better editors to convert truecolor images to the Quake palette. The colors are less faithful, but some details ends up better than in the gamma-correct quantization employed by professional image editors such as The GIMP.

Sometimes, I combine both TexMex quantization and GIMP's gamma-correct quantization to get the best possible results.

Texmex is only for getting the textures into and out of your WAD for game use.

You should really be using an actual editor like photoshop. I use mtPaint cause reasons.

I won't pirate Photoshop, and for this single use case (non-correct quantization), TexMex is waaay more lightweight.

I use whatever tools that gives the results I'm looking for.

#30321 posted by Redfield on 2018/06/09 15:56:55

Yeah I use it for making multiple brightness variants of textures too. It works ok in this case. Texmex really does feel like a hacked together MacGyver-esque tool, so I don't like to do too much with it.

I Agree

The same can be said for AdQuedit, even more so since it lets you delete windows.

Texture Blending

Dev version of gimp with great blending in indexed mode. The new official 2.10 has indexed locked for some reason.

Sounds pretty neat given GIMP's normally rudimentary support for images in indexed mode, but I don't speak a word of that language and a quick Google Translate isn't helping much so no idea how neat it actually is.

You don't need to read french to use gimp tho.
http://gegl.org/babl/ is the stuff making work.
Recommend downloading and giving a shot if you're familiar with gimp

I bit the bullet the other day and downloaded it, it's fully available in english once you extract the archive. In case you're not sure what the download link is:

Of course, whether or not you trust the french to not put viruses in the download is another matter. Sneaky french...

#30335 posted by ww on 2018/06/15 06:48:15

The 2.99 seems way buggier than the previous versions.
2.10.2 on the same page is the way to go..

Dumb Question Time

Quake Champions, can you make maps for that? Without having to work for id, I mean.

#30337 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2018/06/16 09:24:46

nope

#30338 posted by mankrip on 2018/06/16 14:53:32

By the way, did Quake Live support custom maps?

Nope

#30340 posted by Kinn on 2018/06/16 16:34:44

Was any reasoning ever given?

Yes, It Did!
