Hello.Have you been looking for a link to Sunman's High-Resolution textures but every link is dead?
I've successfully found a copy of it.

But, too bad.These textures are illegal and I can't share the link with you anymore :/

I think, not sure, that these are considered illegal textures.

Why should these be illegal?
I have them and basically the barrels look nicer,so do the boxes and the wood textures too.
Nothing illegal about them

Its not that there good.( i havent seen them yet). Its that did you ask jitspoe if the pack is ok. Because all the textures cant give you an upper advantage then the normal textures. So a purple person doesnt stand out in a completly blue wall if you know what i mean?.

Ok. I will ask for his aproval.

Bro, I've got ban for these textures

But yes, it looks nicer.

Bitius · « **Reply #6 on:** June 14, 2013, 07:57:25 AM »

I don't know.These don't give me any advantages.I have no idea what everybody is talking about

Aveiro · « **Reply #7 on:** June 14, 2013, 01:20:30 PM »

Ignore it. Official textures looks so horrible, these are much better.

Bitius · « **Reply #8 on:** June 14, 2013, 02:00:13 PM »

I agree

jitspoe · « **Reply #9 on:** June 16, 2013, 04:15:38 PM »

Most of the textures are OK. Some of the grass and crate textures are really light, though, which could make players more visible, and thus be an unfair advantage.

Could you take some side by side screenshots with this pack and the official HR4 pack and point out what things you like better in this one?

Bitius · « **Reply #10 on:** June 16, 2013, 04:42:41 PM »

I guess i could.

So I took all the screen of the texutres I thought should be compared.I couldn't merge them because I did something bad with Photoshop to say the least and it doesn't work properly.Despite of that I added them into a pack and renamed them so that they could be compared with ease.

Link to download because i can't attach it here:

Did you actually download the hr4 pack? http://dplogin.com/files/hr4_gpl.zip That should fix the banners.

As for the textures, could you describe what it is about each one that you like better in Sunman's pack? Or, in other words, what would I need to change about the official textures to make you like them better?

Bitius · « **Reply #13 on:** June 17, 2013, 03:53:02 PM »

Ok the banners were i think the previous version of the packs yes.
As for the textures,the crates look brighter and therefore I like them more
Same with the grass
The tiles have a nice white outline with them that I like
The barrels have a smooth even color that I like

And I think that's all for now

jitspoe · « **Reply #14 on:** June 18, 2013, 09:41:50 AM »

Do you like them because they look better, or because they make players easier to see? Brighter grass and crates and solid-color barrels are all things that make players stand out more. Visually, I have a hard time seeing how you would think these actually look better. The barrels look like somebody just made solid colored rectangles in mspaint, and the crates have a flat, cardboard cutout look to them...

Bitius · « **Reply #15 on:** June 18, 2013, 10:13:28 AM »

I don't like them because of the advantages.I like them because I think they look better than dark crates and dark grass.Of course there is nothing wrong with the original textures, too...just that I like these better.I don't know but the barrels do look better in my opinion and so do the tiles. (Visually)

I marked every texture, which i prefer with a green circle. I only chose 4 maps which are played pretty often.
The grass just makes a map look nicer than darker grass, the same with the barrels.
But the official hay-textures look much better in my opinion, the official box textures in pbcup_pforest too and most of the woodplank textures.

Did you mean to attach a file or link?

As for dark grass - there are lighter grass textures available. The original grass texture used in propaint, etc. was a dark green. I'm trying to match the original texture feel as close as possible. If the map designer wanted lighter grass, he should have chosen a lighter grass texture.

Same with the crates - the sunman crates on shazam33 look nothing like the original crate design (looks more like the other crate textures). The original textures were a dark brown and had no diagonal beam. The sunman ones are so light that they look out of place with all the other textures, like they're made of paper or something.

I hope it works.

Made of paper... lol.
As for the textures, I think they go together very well. (only my opinion)
