    Question [COMPLETE] SLR Cars HD Pack

    Hi there,
    today I tried out to replace these (sry.. but true) scary tiny car pics by some self-made 256x256 PNGs.
    Everything worked fine with my plan to make SLR look a lot better . But then I had to learn that your game engine can't handle larger images . Isn't it possible to modify the game in that way that all images that width and height are a power of 2 are accepeted?
    Best wishes,
    Jaller94

    There are several solutions to your problem with minimal changes required.
    1: Run the game in a different resolution/aspect ratio. Smaller ratios mean larger (abliet pixelated) sprites.
    2: Under "options" it's possible to zoom in the camera even further, if your having problems SEEING the cars.
    If the problem is that you simply can't stand the 32x32 pixel-ized sprites... think of it this way: custom sprite makers (like me) have a much easier time working with 32x32 than 256x256.

    It's the "problem" number three [they don't look smooth at 1080p screen-resolution]
    You... you don't create this skins with a vector graphics program? :O
    yep, sounds like a lot of work! I redrew them with Inkscape.
    Once I'm finished with all I will post them in this topic, ok?!

    Default Now some pics

    Here are some simple examples.

    Images may will be updated in the future.

    P.S. Of course these are made with Inkscape... can't believe you want to draw skins with glow effect pixel by pixel.

    Believe It. I actually find creating custom ships pixel-by-pixel to be super enjoyable.
    I even try to do it for other people.

    Is somebody still interested in this idea/work?
    Any chance the game support larger images in the future?

    I'll try and get in contact with Siread, maybe he'll implement it into a future update.
