Worked for me ... :D

You still get the borders between the high and low res textures showing up ... but at least the textures in the distance look better ... 8)

Here are screenshots from my comp showing the texture borders before and after the mod and I tweaked the textures further in Photoshop to make them not so dark and so the borders show up less ... 8)

NOTE ... uGridsToLoad = 5 ... for all screenshots :wink:


Before the mod ...


After the mod ...


After my Photoshop tweak ...


I might try to tweak them some more ... :mrgreen:

Uhm, what good are Photoshopped screenshots? Keep it real, please. :p

From what I've seen in the screenshot, the mod does seem to help, but the texture borders are nevertheless damn ugly. :(

I think he edited the texture in Photoshop, not the image.
