took the time and remade floor_a this time every pixil should be aligned correctly. noticable improvement on the grid but it still un aligned correctly.

now im starting to think it may be because its not a perfect square

Did you draw the shape by hand? I think its not tessellating correctly for the dual texture is because all the sides are not the same length. I am trying to fit a tessellating pattern of hectagons into a square canvas, and its not working

Well nemo im not gonna lie to you about how i made the floor tile...

well heres the first working hexagon tile with dual texturing support its not the prettiest thing to look at but its a proof of concept for anyone who wants to make a dualtexture supported floor. So i made a real simple 20 x 20 tile, yeah they may not really be hexagons but shhh they sure look like it. i'ld like to thank nemo jonathan and n54 for all the help.

the low quality hex flooring and a gif pic showing off the enhancement !!!

I haven't done anything since last post but I'm just wondering why some times the method we've found works and why some times it doesn't... any ideas?

i think its just the way its done. it shades well, like your green/red examples can be done without tiling the floor_a (_b)(bo real sharp details just intricate shading). However if you wanted mona lisa tiles i think it would have to be tiled in floor_a (_b)(sharp details). As for the original hex tile it theorettically should be tiled in floor_a (_b) and should overlay correctly but it doesnt, i think this might be because its not a square like we talked about before thats the only reason i can see explayining why it doesnt work. im going to do an experament with a tile with a 1 x 2 ratio of difference, probly 20x40 and see how it works get back to you then

heh was messing with my movipack stuff and decided to mess with dual texturing again, got a large unpixalated tile hexagon pattern(a manipulated version of hexatrons). All nice and lined up still blurry though by nature i guess but no offset, and also a 1 by 2 ratio tile that actually looks better dual textured(finished the day after my last post in the thread but i never bothered to post). Two zips to post
