Re: Festivizer images

Hi, you mentioned my uploads being lower quality, but you linked to the old image that I am replacing.

My images have not been succesfully cached yet. I have included an example of the image you are referring to that I uploaded a new version of.

https://imgur.com/a/XhGgnmi

My HLMV settings are set according to the guides in the help section, and I do have 8x antialiasing on via nvidia settings. I did, however, downscale some of these a little, and may need to try and retake some if this is still not considered an improvement over the inaccurate, low-quality prior images.

I compared the older upload, your newer upload, and the other Rocket Launcher upload. They may not have been cached on your end yet, but I had the right images on mine. Try CTRL + F5 on the image if it doesn't show up properly.

The downscaling likely ruined the image, so I advise to not do that for any image.

Downscaling manually via an image manipulation program will cause either bluriness or choppy-looking edges. If you would like to downscale, it's ideal to do that on HLMV itself, by zooming out a little. - ▪ - 20:55, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I see it now, you're right, I needed to refresh the cache. I'll see about potentially fixing it later. EmilyEmbers (talk) 21:20, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
