Team Fortress 2 Texture Tweak..

[streetster]

I was thinking that some of the textures in tf2 don't look quite up to par... so i headed off to google, and low and behold there was an answer...

basically you have to change the mat_picmip value, from 1 (or whatever it was on) to -1 (as apparently any lower will get you kicked from servers - which is a shame, as the lowest value is -10 and looks pretty sharp)...

anyhow, here are some before/after shots... you can see that the texture isnt perfect at -1 but it certainly looks better than the default value:

Before:



After:



credit to these guys

so just shove

mat_picmip -1

into notepad, and save it as "autoexec.cfg" in this dir: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[your email here]\team fortress 2\tf\cfg


[e!] oh scratch that, looks like if you set your textures to "Very High" it sets the picmip value to -1 anyhow...

Looking at the latest TF2 patchnotes (Thursday):

Fixed texture detail level setting "Very high" not being preserved

Which I guess is why you don't have to manually set that variable any more.
