No, BZ has got some limits set in it's code. It can only draw so many polys and simply changing the texture files to higher res isn't going to fix it.

Wait. That was a bit all over the map.

Code limitations. Yes, the code limits textures to 16bit, I think.

We need 32bit large textures.

•First it is ridiculed
•Then it is violently opposed
