Oups! Sorry! The deadline, she flew by! ;)

Ladies and gentleman! In slightly more than 12 hours I will have to render my verdict. Meaning if you want to be heard, shout it loud or forever hold your peace! I'll give z-man my verdict on Saturday at lunch time GMT +1 (thats 1 hour before Greenwich time, 5 hours before America's East Coast time, and I think 8 hours before Americas west coast time, and coffee, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.)

Good luck voting!

title - edd: f-lash 1 (iso-toon)
cycle - K's movie texture: tonka toys
player wall - Your_mom: lightning
floor color - Lucifer: turquoise
floor texture - Your_mom: grid with shadow/halo
sky- Lucifer: light blue sky ((@ nemo - your right.))
rim wall -Fonkay: upper black border or Joda's pi


(alternate model / cycle texture{apply where [and if] available}- edd: Lowpoly Cycle)

@ phillip I'ld prefer you use good judgment and take votes into consideration however putting up the favorite(most voted for) textures may not be a good idea. I'ld prefer a non clashing mash up of textures in the least.

Also before the final release and after the decison of textures i'ld like to see a poll as to which direction we should go.
:bdot: Leave the texture folder alone
:bdot: Yay the new look is great lets go with it
:bdot: I say we start over, this is garbage
:bdot: The new stuffs cool but it still needs tweaking
:bdot: I'm undecided

I don't care about the default textures, but I do have a comment.

The dos and don'ts of centered floors are attached. Applies only when mipmaps are used. It won't be as obvious with the dual texture floor. You might also care about how it lines up with the arena edge, but that's probably not important.

My example is filtered like GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST, called "Mipmap Nearest" in the game.

Edit: no preview?!?

It looks blurry because it is blurry. Feel free to use an admin's veto :) I would have liked ed's other title screen better.

Small problem with the floor: with dual texturing, the gridlines are thicker than with single texturing and appear brighter. Should I adapt floor_a/b or floor.png so they look identical?

I think a non blurry version would be fine, but personally, it hurts my eyes a bit too.

Edd, you collected 11 votes out of 21 for splashscreen. I think people like you concepts. Could you fix the winner to address the blurriness issue?

Thanks
