Mipmaps

Post by Benjyp »

Is there any proven method to preventing your injected bitmaps from turning black at a distance?

Yes, make sure you select "Generate MIP maps".

There is also a program, or application you can use called "Machimna Companion" (I KNOW I spelled it wrong...) and is available at HaloKit.Com's Program List

Machinima Companion was not designed to be used for modding, when you use it to max out your LOD's you create holes in your map.. which is a bad thing.

by the way, its an amazing program. what would you guys suggest if i were releasing a mod with my bitmaps? would they somehow fix themselves or should i just use the program as little as possible?
