i know that normally textures are along the lines of 128x128, 256x256, 512x512 etc, but why is this?

i've tried differently sized textures and they work, so is it that the engine works better with these sizes?

If you don't stick with the power of two, you'll:
- be all misaligned in tiling
- slow down video cards
- increase loading times
- look like crap when it tries to resize to another resolution on load

video cards don't support odd texture resolutions unless it's a Geforce8.

asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

thanks for clearing that up.

is it ok to use rectangular textures that use power of two measurements like 256x128?
