Quote - OMG! What a bunch of Hoo Ha over nothing! Just resize all the images and quit whinging about it! You have the originals still in the installer if you ever need them! Sheesh!
The reason they don't clog up their installs with dual sizes is this. They don't KNOW what your maximum size needs are! So they provide the best sizes and leave it up to you to figure out if you want 512x512, 800x800, 1024,1024 or whatever.
There are enough things eating up network bandwidth these days without clogging the system with unneccesary redundancy when a little work on your part will resize the final product to satisfy your own personal needs. Just think about the server lag we just had for the Halloween freebies. Now triple that for all these extra redundant textures you're crying about.
Here. Have some cheese!
thank you, but its not only the size that we are complaining about, its the fact, if you would read up further instead of going on your tangent, that there are 6 texture plates. do the math. For those of us that dont have major computers, having to resize characters, clothes, props, etc. gets to be rather time consuming when you sometimes pay 20 bucks for things. So if I want to whine, I will, thank you!
