Feature Request : Vector or high resolution signs #41

Open Golutazem opened 4 years ago

Golutazem commented 4 years ago

This feature request is for vector or high resolution graphics for the signs. For use with the 512px texture packs, such as https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/hdx-512/

SVG files are supposed to be present for all bitmap textures. With these, you could easily create texture for whatever resolution you want. Sometimes the same SVG file is used for several textures. If any SVG file is missing, please, tell me which.

Does a user need to do something to get the SVGs to be used or are they supposed to be used always? Why are there both SVG and bitmap textures? Is it so that the user can choose and switch between them?

No. SVG texture are not intended for end-user. They are provided so texture pack designers can use them to create their own textures. Someone a little bit used to texture will be able to make 512px (or whatever) textures starting from SVG files. 512px texture wont be included into display_modpack as they are rarely used (most of servers run with small textures). They should be put in the texture pack rather.
