I finally had a chance to open up Arma and check out those textures; and I think it's a good start. However, here are some things to consider:

1. To avoid texture stretching, you might want to make sure the images dimensions are in 'base 2'. I'm guessing you don't know what that is, so think of this pattern (16,32,64,128,256,512,1024...)
2. Try to find higher resolution images when possible. Your rim_wall is rather pixelated and it's a bit distracting.
3. Textures usually need to 'wrap'. This means the transition from one end of the texture should match the other to form a seamless pattern. Your dir_wall doesn't quite do this, although it doesn't look too awful.
4. Open 'setting_visual.cfg' in your Arma directory. Play around with these setting using the default textures to get a feel for what they do. (Be sure to make a backup of the file first in case you mess something up.)

Which brings me to my last point...

This isn't a 'moviepack', so perhaps you can change the name of this thread to 'replacement textures' until you actually finish the moviepack. We don't need shadow.png if we don't have a matching cycle.ase. your completed moviepack will have different filenames and an additional file named 'settings.cfg' when completed. refresh your memory with the Arma wiki.

This means you need to have your monitor calibrated. It helps if you want to do serious graphics work (actually, it's essential).

That would be powers of two, which do happen to look nice in base 2. Highly recommended to avoid pre-scaling to a power of two and the associated artifacts.

All texture sizes will be fit into the same place, BTW, so just keep that aspect ratio in mind. The width of moviepack cycle walls can be configured though.

Actually it's dark enough that it could turn really dark when you combine it with low FLOOR_RED.

Thanks for the clarification, it's not something I talk about a lot.

[Dehato]

well thanks for the tips. and the rim walls and stuff i made em seperated myself but in 0.3.0 when you get near them it like deforms itself if thats what you ment by stretching. Dont do that in the one i use.
Ive seen topics with movieopacks that are just textures like mine, but anyway i got a question.

I have an ase exporter called goofosase where do i put that thing cuz i just have it sitting in my desktop without a clue with what to do with it XD




(sry for being so noobish again(again(again) anad again lol

Open 'setting_visual.cfg' in your Arma directory. Play around with these setting using the default textures to get a feel for what they do. (Be sure to make a backup of the file first in case you mess something up.)

Alterations of those settings can be placed in autoexec.cfg, as well, so you don't have to backup the original.

it doesnt have the setings thing?
