Textures.....

[]Bs[Highlander]

-Does anyone know how to create textures like those in GenFire ?
ie: they look like scripted particle effects.

-also.. is there a max size for textures? the largest ive seen is 256x256

-Would it be possible to have say.. a 1024x1024 sheet with one large particle effect texture??

(what kind of performance hit would i expect?)

Max size for static textures and animated textures is 1024x1024 pixels; procedural textures (like fire textures, water textures and scripted textures) are limited to 256x256 pixels---see Unreal Textures. This article also covers the creation of procedural textures.

thank you

but dont go above 256*256 though, some people could get problems then that the map doesnt work anymore and stuff

Only if you disable mipmaps. Otherwise the engine picks the largest mipmap that fits the existing hardware.
