Change Maximum (Render)Texture Size?
« on: June 13, 2013, 01:02:34 pm »
Hey guys,
on my pc the maximum Texture size is 4096 (
Texture.MaximumSize
)
How can i change the limit or do i have to put many big textures next to each other?
 :)

This is a hardware limit, you cannot change it (otherwise there would be no maximum size ;)).

4096 is already a big value, some old crappy cards may not support textures above 512x512.

You could use the workaround thor::BigTexture I implemented in Thor. But it does not support all the features of sf::Texture yet.
