New page

Detail mapping is a great justice feature, here it is applied on the 884 crate texture from the HRP :

Example of a detail map definition :

Get to the 884 crate texture definition in the textures.def included with the HRP :

<pre>texture 884 {
pal 0 { file "highres/textures/0884.jpg" }
}</pre>

Add a detail texture definition line so it looks like that :

<pre>texture 884 {
pal 0 { file "highres/textures/0884.jpg" }
detail { file "highres/textures/0884_detail.jpg" scale 1.0 }
}</pre>

Get this detail texture (I found it [http://www.web3d-fr.com/tutoriels/modelisation/Textures1/index.php:here]) and save it as '''0884_detail.jpg''' in the '''highres/textures/''' directory :

[[Image:detail.jpg]]

Make sure detail mapping is enabled in the advanced graphics option menu (or just type '''r_detailmapping 1''' in the console), fire up E1L1 and see the result on the roof crate :

Try setting the scale to a lower value to add even more detail (a 1.0 scale doesn't make much sense because your it doesn't add any potential detail to your texture). Here's the same crate with a '''0.2''' scale (meaning that the detail map will fit five times on the diffuse map) :
